Tho there are clouds in the sky dear The sun will come smiling thru Tho you have found a new love Remember, I still love you
ALONG A BLACKEYE SUSAN TRAIL
Of all fond recollections, deep within my memory chest There is one above them all, that I really love the best ?Tis a little country lane, along a blackeye susan trail Where I yearn to stroll once more,
As I did in days of yore
I yearn to see the old familiar face I once loved If I could only stroll again.
Down a little country lane
Where the blackeye Susans love to grow
Dedicated to the many trips along the Mississippi River-and to a few girls I use to and the lovely time I spent in ?Old Mousccrown Plantation?
THE SAME OLD HARVEST MOON
VERSE
Night breezes playing, through pine trees swaying While a harvest moon on high Sails through a starlit sky
REFRAIN
?Tis the same old harvest moon as in the days of yore
Shining on the Bay St. Louis shore
Romance fills the air as moonbeams play at hide and seek
All along the Bay St. Louis shore
Sweethearts, stroll hand in hand
Just as they use to do in the days of auld lang syne
?Tis the same old harvest moon as in the days of yore
Shining on the Bay St. Louis shore
AN AUTUMN LULLABY
Go to sleep, my pretty ones, in your woodland bed
While I sing an Autumn lullaby
Just ignore the black birds plaintful requiem
For when springtime comes, you?ll wake up again
Can't you hear the bobwhitc calling to his mate
And the gentle cooing of the dove
Listen to the brook, as she flows on her way
