Moonlight & Sky
Jack Guthrie
<D>
This fair maiden’s sweetheart did not realise
That the greatest of riches was his moonlight and sky
He landed in prison to weakend to sigh
And lost all his freedom, his moonlight and sky
He wrote to his darlin’ with pen in his hand
And here is the answer that flowed from her pen
Your cravin’ for riches you feel into crime
You lost first your true love then your moonlight and sky
His youthfulness teaching and young idle mind
It fill up our prisons leave sorry behind
Your family and friends are suffering too
To the good lord in heaven there praying for you
Tis a man a true prayer your mother has prayed
Her poor heart is broken for you know you have strayed
Your father is weakening he thinks he has failed
You ignored his wisdom and now your in jail
But true love is eternal it never goes dim
It#s just as true now as the day you went in
So I’m closing my letter with tears in my eyes
And I’ll keep right on waiting with our moonlight and sky
