The Evening Bells Are Ringing Lyrics & Chords By The Carter Family

Moonlight shining over Dixie
To my heart will ever bring
Dreams of snowy fields of cotton
Everywhere the darkies sing

In the evening by the moonlight
In dear old Tennessee
And the evening bells were ringing
Across the hills so tenderly

Moonlight makes me sigh for you, dear
Makes me long to hold your hand
I know I'm missing hugs and kisses
Far away from Dixieland

In the evening by the moonlight
In dear old Tennessee
And the evening bells are ringing
Across the hills so tenderly

My darling, come, come I am waiting
Come, let me hold you very near
We'll build a bower among the flowers
Growing down in Dixieland

In the evening by the moonlight
In dear old Tennessee
And the evening bells were ringing
Across the hills so tenderly
