Listen to the MockingBird
Septimus Winner
1.
I'm dreaming now of Hally,
Sweet Hallie, 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.
CHORUS:
Listen to the mocking bird,
Listen to the mocking bird,
The mocking bird still
singing o'er her grave;
Listen to the mocking bird,
listen to the mockingbird,
Still singing where
the weeping willows wave.
2.
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.
(CHORUS:)
3.
When the charms of spring awaken,
awaken, awaken,
When the charms of spring awaken,
And the mocking bird is
singing on the bough.
I feel like one forsaken,
forsaken, forsaken.
I feel like one forsaken,
Since my Hally is no longer
with me now.
(CHORUS:)
