Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
How it shines in the moon silvery light
Oh, my darling far from me, how I wish that you could see
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight.

The moon was softly shining on an old Kentucky home
The fragrance of magnolias filled the air
A lonely girl was writing to her sweetheart cross the foam
May God protect you darling over there
To say how much she wish that he were there.

Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
How it shines in the moon silvery light
Oh, my darling far from me, how I wish that you could see
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight.


Oh. my darling far from me, how I wish that you could see
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight...
