Lyrics Shenandoah – The Moon Over Georgia
Text:
He owns a big estate, just south of Savannah
And a high rise hotel in downtown Atlanta
Add half the state of Georgia to his name
She’d be set for life in his colonial manner
But all I had to offer her, was the moon
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 Georgia
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’ till dawn, with a full moon shinin’
And those occasional clouds all have a silver lining
There really must be something about, that old yellow light
‘Cause she took the moon over Georgia
She’d rather have a million stars in the sky, than a gold mine
Yeah she took the moon over Georgia
When it came down to his world or mine, she took the moon over Georgia
She took the moon over Georgia
