Silver Dew on the Blue Grass Tonight Songtext
von Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

Oh-haw
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
Yes, yes
Oh, Tommy

The moon was softly shining on an old Kentucky home
The fragrance of magnolias filled the air
A lonely girl was writing to her sweetheart ′cross the foam (yes, yes)
"May God protect you, darling, over there"


Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
How it shines in the moon's silver light (oh)
Soldier boy, so far from me
How I wish that I could see
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight

Stars of gold on the old flag tonight
While you fight for the cause that is right
You will keep that flag on high
For those boys who′ve had to die
Stars of gold on the old flag tonight

Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
While I pray, you'll come sage through the fight (oh)
Close your eyes and think of me (yeah)
Then, my darling, you will see (oh-haw)
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
