Way down South in the land of cotton Old times there are soon forgotten How I miss those days in June Look at that ole Mississippi Moon How I long for the gentle ways The nicest style and the days of grace My belief is it was gone too soon Lookin' at that Mississippi Moon That old Mississippi Moon is shining Down on me tonight How I would love to see my sweetheart Standing in its light Diamonds dancing in her eyes Like the stars in the midnight skies It is my belief she was gone too soon Just look at that old Mississippi Moon How I would love to see my darlin' Standing in its light Way down South in the land of cotton Old times there are so forgotten How I miss those lazy days of June Hey look at that ole Mississippi Moon
