One Moonlight Night (Charlie Poole) 
One moonlight night a year ago A blue-eyed lass and lad With tear-dimmed eyes and footsteps slow Whose hearts were dear and sad ’Twas through a quiet lane they strolled The maiden drooped her head And gave the lad a band of gold And to him softly said: 
Take back the ring you gave me Take it back, Jack, I pray For wearing it would deprive me More than ever today To make me your wife would wrong you Grief to your heart would bring So take it back, I beg of you, Jack Take back the engagement ring 
"I love you, Nell, and you love me" The faithful lad then said "Forget the past and my wife be Don’t blight our lives instead I’ll honor and forgive you, Nell To you through life I’ll cling" Her answer was a saddened sob "No, Jack, take back the ring"
