American Old Time Song Lyrics: 33 Listen To The Mocking Bird
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 33
LISTEN TO THE MOCKING-BIRD.
Oliver Ditson Company, Boston.
I'm dreaming now of Hally, sweet Hally,
I'm dreaming now of Hally;
For the thought" of her is one that never dies;
She's sleeping in the valley, the valley, the valley;
She's sleeping in the valley,
And the mocking-bird is singing where she lies.
Chorus.
Listen to the mocking-bird, listen to the mocking-bird,
The mocking-bird is singing o'er her grave;
Listen to the mocking-bird, listen to the mocking-bird,
Still singing where the weeping willows wave.
Ah! well I yet remember, remember, remember,
Ah! well I yet remember.
When we gathered in the cotton, side by side,
'Twas in the mild September, September, September,
'Twas in the mild September,
And the mocking-bird was singing far and wide.-Chorus.
When the charms of spring awaken, awaken, awaken,
When the charms of spring awaken,
And the mocking-bird is singing on the bough;
I feel like one forsaken, forsaken, forsaken,
I feel like one forsaken,
Since Hally is no longer with me now.-Chorus.
