The Moonlight Walk - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE MOONLIGHT WALK. 
Last Autumn I went out of town, Just for a change of air; It's very strange-but so it was-A charmer l met there. How pleasantly the evening pass'd Whilst list'ning to her talk I For I first made her acquaintance. When I took an evening walk. 
Chorus. There's nothing half so jolly as a moonlight walk, A mooni light walk, a moonlight walk; There's nothing half so jolly as a moonlight walk, A moonlight walk for me. 
Quite by myself I took a stroll, To view the lovely scenes. To read the stars, as some folks say. Though I scarce know what that means. I had not gone far, before I heard A footstep on the grass; On turning round, just by my side, I saw this damsel pass.-Chorus. 
The next night, too, I saw her there'Twas strange now, was it not? And though I scarce can tell you how, Acquainted we soon got. 5he said her pa was captain of The well-known "Tomahawk," And like me, to study nature's scenes, !she took that moonlight walk.-Chorus, 
right after night it seem'd as if By fate we bolh were led, So, long before I came to town, I asked her if she'd wed. She blushing, said, "She felt that she My pleasure could not baulk," She promised that she'd have me, while We look our moonlight walk.-Chorus. 
Now shortly I shall call her mine, And we will go away To some secluded spot to pass The honeymoon so gay; Andi there together all the day. Of bygone times we'll talk, And to fondley speak about Our pleasant moonlight walk - Chorus.
