Moonlit Lullaby

I’m drunk, and I’m drowsy
And I would go to sleep
But for breaking this circle of the company I keep
So let me lean on your shoulder
You can lean against mine
While we wait for the bottle to come round one more time

My mind is a-buzzing
Like the june bugs at the window
My heart’s all a-flutter, like the moths round the flame
My soul is half crazy
As the loons on the water
Can’t you hear ‘em, don’t it sound like they’re calling our name

[Chorus]
So won’t you fill up the night
With your fiddle and bow
With your mandolin trills and that silver banjo
One more last tune before I say goodnight
Won’t you make it a moonlit lullaby
Won’t you make it a moonlit lullaby

There’s a sliver of silver
Going down in the pines
And the first blush of morning ain’t too far behind
Oh I’m leaving tomorrow
But I won’t shed no tears
I know just where I’ll find you this time next year

[Chorus]

Won’t you make it
Moonlit
