I'm dreaming now of Hally, sweet Hally, sweet Hally I'm dreaming now of Hally For the thought of her is one that never dies She's sleeping in the valley, the valley, the valley She's sleeping in the valley, And the mocking bird is singing where she lies. Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird still singing o'er her grave Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird Still singing where the weeping willows wave Ah, well, I yet remember, remember, remember Ah well, I yet remember When we gathered in the cotton side by side 'Twas in the mild September, September, September 'Twas in the mild September And the mocking bird was singing far and wide Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird still singing o'er her grave Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird Still singing where the weeping willows wave When the charms of spring are awaken, are awaken, are awaken When the charms of spring are awaken And the mockingbird is singing on the bough I feel like one so forsaken, so forsaken, so forsaken I feel like one so forsaken For my Hallie is no longer with me now Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird still singing o'er her grave Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird Still singing where the weeping willows wave Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird still singing o'er her grave Listen to the mocking bird Listen to the mocking bird Still singing where the weeping willows wave
