Lyrics By and By (Poor Me) - Rising Sons

Don't the moon look bright
Mama, shinin' down on me
By and by, sweet mama
Sweet mama, by and by

You can go, you can stay
Oh baby, I fear
'Cause if you stay too long
I won't understand you, dear

Now I'm goin' to Vicksburg
And mama, I don't even care
But I can't get into Natchez
They tell me there's high water there

Don't the moon look bright
Shinin' down on me
By and by, sweet mamo
Mamo, by and by
