Roll Along Georgia Moon 1913

The evening shadows fall,
the night birds softly call
Stars begin to peep.
The moon is hanging low,
the night is still aglow,
Dixie land's asleep,
Georgia moon is smiling at us from above.
Prying, spying
while we're making love.
If he is bound to stay,
and doesn't roll away
then to him I'll say:

Keep a rollin'
just a rollin' along,
Old Georgia Moon,
Won't you stop your blinkin'
winkin' at my gal,
I'll be gettin' jealous soon.
Keep a rollin'
just a rollin' along,
I want to spoon.
If you feel like being mean,
Hang around where you'll be seen,
so just roll along
Old Georgia Moon.

Keep a rollin'
just a rollin' along,
Old Georgia Moon,
Won't you stop your blinkin'
winkin' at my gal,
I'll be gettin' jealous soon.
Keep a rollin'
just a rollin' along,
I want to spoon.
If you feel like being mean,
Hang around where you'll be seen,
so just roll along
Old Georgia Moon.

The moon has hid his face,
He knows he's out of place,
He won't interfere.
Come on my turtle dove,
it's time for making love,
When I have you near
whippoorwill is singing
in the Cypress tree.
Joining in my song of melody.
I'm going to steal a kiss,
the moon will miss the bliss,
so I'll tell him this:

Keep a rollin'
just a rollin' along,
Old Georgia Moon,
Won't you stop your blinkin'
winkin' at my gal,
I'll be gettin' jealous soon.
Keep a rollin'
just a rollin' along,
I want to spoon.
If you feel like being mean,
Hang around where you'll be seen,
so just roll along
Old Georgia Moon.

Keep a rollin'
just a rollin' along,
Old Georgia Moon,
Won't you stop your blinkin'
winkin' at my gal,
I'll be gettin' jealous soon.
Keep a rollin'
just a rollin' along,
I want to spoon.
If you feel like being mean,
Hang around where you'll be seen,
so just roll along
Old Georgia Moon.
