Am looking for lyrics to this old Carter Family song, "Moonlight Over Dixie". An old friend of mine sang it to me once, and I have been searching for the words. Any help would be appreciated. I do know some of the chorus..... "In the evening, in the moonlight, Dreaming of old Tennessee; There the evening bells are ringing, Over the hills so tenderly?"

THE EVENING BELLS ARE RINGING — Carter Family
Recorded December 11, 1934
A. P. joins in on the Chorus

Moonlight shining over Dixie
To my heart will ever bring
Dreams of snowy fields of cotton,
Everywhere the darkies sing.

CHORUS
In the evening, by the moonlight,
In dear old Tennessee,
And the evening bells are ringing,
Across the hills, so tenderly.

Moonlight makes me sigh for you, dear,
Makes me long to hold your hand.
I know I'm missing hugs and kisses
Far away from Dixieland.

CHORUS

My darling come, come, I am waiting.
Come, let me hold you very near.
We'll build a bower among the flowers
Growing down in Dixieland.

CHORUS
