SPANISH MOSS
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded by Gordon Lightfoot 1976


Let go darling, I can feel the night wind call
Guess I'd better go
I like you more than half as much
As I love your Spanish moss.

Spanish moss a-hanging down
Sweeter than the southern love we've found
Spanish moss, keeps on following my thoughts around.

Georgia pine and ripple wine
Memories of Savannah summertime
Spanish moss, wish you knew what I was saying.

So I'm rolling north thinkin'
Of the way things might have been
If she and I could have changed it all somehow .

Spanish moss a-hanging down
Lofty as the sycamore you've found
Spanish moss, keeps on following my thoughts around.

Georgia pine and ripple wine
Kisses mixed with moonshine and red clay
Spanish moss, wish you knew what I was sayin'.

So I'm rolling north thinkin'
Of the way things might have been
If she and I could have changed it all somehow.

Let go darling, I can feel the night wind call
The devil take the cost
I like the way your kisses flow and I love your Spanish moss.
