Shenandoah – The Moon Over Georgia lyrics

he owns a big estate
just south of savannah
and a high rise hotel in down-town atlanta
add half the state of georgia to his name
she'd be set for life in his coloniel manner
he laid the world at her feet on a silver platter
but all i had to offer her, was the moon

-ChOrUs-

*and she took the moon over georgia
she'd rather have a million stars in the sky
than a gold mine
she took the moon over geogia
when it came down to his world or mine
she took the moon over georgia

-a little country house in need of expansion
it's far cry from his south georgia mansion
but we've got our own paradise.
shadows dancin' til down with a full moon shinin'
and those occasional clouds all have a silver lining
there really must be something about, that old yellow light

Chorus*till end
