Answer to the Silvery Moonlight Trail |
I’m sure you all remember, a song of yesterday, |
Was widely known throughout each home on many an outback way, |
Was sung by one whose name and fame for years yet shall prevail |
And now here is my answer, to the Silvery Moonlight Trail. |
Our thoughts lie o’er the ocean, to Canada far away, |
We gaze upon the ranch house, where the rangeland cattle stray, |
We see a fair young woman, a baby on her knee, |
The cowboy that she honours, stands guard across the sea. |
That day there came a letter, from the cowboy o’er the foam, |
He’d soon be home to see them and never more would he roam, |
A smile caressed her dear face, a tear drop blurred each line |
As fin’lly at the bottom, these words she sure did find. |
Although I’ve never seen you, you fill yur dad’s heart with joy, |
Take care of darlin' mother, and wait just for the time, |
When we’ll have fun together, on the range at round-up time. |
The teardrops came unbidden into her loving eyes, |
The moon rose in it’s splender into the great dreary skies, |
She gazed upon her baby, asleep now in her arms, |
And thanked God for His mercy and for that bundle of charms. |
The old moon smiled up yonder, he also knows the tale, |
And so we feel in silence from the Silvery Moonlight Trail. |
