Hank Snow - Moonlight and Skies Lyrics

Oh come here my story of heartaches and sighes

I'm a prisoner who's lonely from moonlight and skies

I have a sweetheart who's waiting for me

Back in old Oklahoma I'm now far from Jenny

Her lips like the cherries her little heart cries

Daddy please come back to your moonlight and skies

My pal's name was Blacky a lad with true heart

A roberry we'd planned so decided to start

I went to my darling with tears in her eyes

She said daddy don't leave me your moonlight and skies

I laughed at her pleading you must have it's way

And said I'll be back in a couple of day

[ ac.guitar ]

The next scene was fatal with a shot through his heart

Old Blacky thus send the love to his sweetheart

Go tell her go tell her I send my love

I'll meet her in heaven with the angels above

That night I was captured under the stars

Now I have laughed to linger behind these arm bars

You'll find me at my window as the day slowly die

I'm dreaming of my darling and my moonlight and skies

Oh pale moon is shining it's shining so bright

And lovers are strolling by my window tonight

Their laughter so merry brings heart extended sighes

To a prisoner who's lovely for my moonlight and skies
