[1st verse:] Big pale moon Was shining down on Tennessee Birds in tune Sang love's sweet melody Homesick coon Was sighing tenderly And pretty soon I listened to his plea [Refrain:] Lindy, Lindy, how much longer must I wait? The "Good Book" says that man must take unto himself a mate You need somebody who Will cuddle up close to you Next winter, Lindy When the weather is windy You know that birds and bees and chickens raise a family And what was meant for them was meant for Lindy and me [2nd verse:] Big pale moon Still shining down on Tennessee Birds in tune Hum that same melody Honeymoon Will come eventually And that same coon Is urging hopefully
