On Mobile Bay 1910

Banjos are a ringing
and the darkies singing
down on Mobile Bay,
Stars are brightly shining
and my heart is pining
for the south each day.
My sweetheart is waiting
cute and fascinating
where I left her by the ocean shore,
That is why I'm yearning
and my thoughts are turning
to Mobile once more.

On Mobile Bay
Honey stole my heart away,
Beneath the sea
when she gave a loving kiss to me.
She said "Goodbye"
while the moon was shining high.
On the dreaming, beaming,
gleaming Mobile Bay.

On Mobile Bay
Honey stole my heart away,
Beneath the sea
when she gave a loving kiss to me.
She said "Goodbye"
while the moon was shining high.
On the dreaming, beaming,
gleaming Mobile Bay.

I am not forgotten
in the fields of cotton
that are blooming white,
when the night is falling
mem'ries are recalling
days that bring delight.
Then I think of Honey
always bright and sunny
waiting down in Dixieland for me.
Waiting by the ocean
with her loves devotion
deeper than the sea.

On Mobile Bay
Honey stole my heart away,
Beneath the sea
when she gave a loving kiss to me.
She said "Goodbye"
while the moon was shining high.
On the dreaming, beaming,
gleaming Mobile Bay.

On Mobile Bay
Honey stole my heart away,
Beneath the sea
when she gave a loving kiss to me.
She said "Goodbye"
while the moon was shining high.
On the dreaming, beaming,
gleaming Mobile Bay.
