Moonlight Bay

Lyrics: Edward Madden
Music: Percy Wenrich

Recorded by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman but never played live. They recorded the fragment below but then stopped with Grisman saying "How does the bridge go?" and Garcia replying "I don't know, I don't know the bridge (in fact, what they play is the chorus)

We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay
We could hear the voices singing, they seemed to say
You have stolen my heart, now don't go away
As we sing "Love's Old Sweet Song" on Moonlight Bay

Voices hum, crooning over Moonlight Bay
Banjos strum, tuning while the moonbeams play
All alone, unknown they find me
Memories like these remind me
Of the girl I left behind me
Down on Moonlight Bay

Candle lights gleaming on the silent shore
Lonely nights, dreaming till we meet once more
Far apart, her heart, is yearning
With a sigh for my returning
With the light of love still burning
As in days of yore
