Nina Simone — In the Evening by the Moonlight

[Verse 1] In the evening by the moonlight When my mother had finished working We used to sit around the fireplace 'Til the cornbread, it was done And then we all would eat our supper After that we'd clean the kitchen It's the only time they ever gave us to spare Ha ha, to have a little fun Then my daddy used to take his fiddle down That hung upon the wall While the silvery moon was shining clear and bright How the old folks would enjoy it They would sit all night and listen As we used to sing in the evening by the moonlight [Verse 2] In the evening by the moonlight You could hear banjos ringing You could hear them by the moonlight You could hear my folks all singing How my mother she would enjoy it She would sit all night and listen As we sang in the evening by the moonlight, oh yeah In the evening by the moonlight You could hear folks all singing In the evening by the moonlight You could hear my folks all singing How my mother she would enjoy it She would sit all night and listen As we sang in the evening by the moonlight, oh yeah [Instrumental] [Outro] In the evening by the moonlight You could hear banjos ringing In the evening by the moonlight You could hear my folks all singing How my mother she would enjoy it She would sit all night and listen As we sang in the evening by the moonlight, yeah Yeah, alright
