Hoagy Carmichael - Moon Country lyrics

rate me

I long for that moon country

That possum and coon country

That sycamore heaven back south

I’ll lose my mind till I get there

I long for that old country

That good for the soul country

With folk cooking things

That melt in your mouth

Mmm, when my cousin, Cindy Lou

Plays a twilight hymn to you

She makes that old piano

Sound exactly like brand new

I long for that moon country

That’s where I should be

‘Cause that old moon country

Is home to me
