I Used To Sigh For The Silvery Moon (from "A Good Blow-Out For Four-Pence")

I Used To Sigh For The Silvery Moon - G H Elliott/Marie Lloyd/Rosie Lloyd/Daisy Wood

I used to sigh for the silvery moon

I used to sigh for my coal black coon

I used to spoon in the bright moon-light

And when the moon was out of sight

I used to sing to my Mandy Lou

'Ma heart is sad but my love is true'

I've changed that tune we were wed in June

We've a new moon now it's a honey-moon

They say two fond hearts beat as one

If both little hearts are true

But when to the parson we had gone

Our hearts still fonder grew

Sweet-heart days are left behind

Still we find love is blind

Oft the times are brought to mind

When I woo'd Mandy Lou

I used to sigh for the silvery moon

I used to sigh for my coal black coon

I used to spoon in the bright moon-light

And when the moon was out of sight

I used to sing

I used to sing to my Mandy Lou

'Ma heart is sad but my love is true'

I've changed that tune we were wed in June

We've got a new moon now it's a honey-moon
