Bob Wills – Sugar Moon Lyrics
[Chorus]
When it’s sugarcane time along around about June
I’ll be walking with sugar neath that old sugar moon
Gonna drop her a line to expect me soon
Say I’m craving some sugar neath the old sugar moon
[Verse 1]
I can see her right now she’ll get the calendar down
Scratch a circle around the day we’re altar bound
When it’s sugarcane time long around about June
Wedding bells will be chiming neath the old sugar moon
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
When the sugar moon shines along about June
I’ll be walking with sugar neath that old sugar moon
All the kisses I missed I’ll be getting ‘em soon
Sugar kisses from sugar neath that old sugar moon
[Verse 2]
I’m dreaming sweet dreams of all the loving I’ll get
I get back to my pet lordy how I’ll fret
Till it’s sugarcane time long around about June
I’ll be walking with sugar neath that old sugar moon
GENIUS
