The poem is as follows, Moonlight, "Often in the moonlight Like a lonely whippoorwill I can see my Sally A sittin' by her still. often in the moonlight As she makes a run I can hear her choppin; Like a son-of-a-gun. Often in the moonlight When it's time to snooze I can smell the fragrance As she boils her booze. Often in the moonlight A sippin' mountain dew I can see the firelight As she boils her brew. Often in the moonlight a steppin' in my stride I can see my Sally A walkin' by my side." hbss
