Lyrics
I was strolling out one evening
‘Neath the sterling silver moon
I could hear somebody singing
A familiar tune
So, I stopped a while to listen
Not a word I wanted to miss
It was just somebody serenading
Something like this
Refrain
Mandy, sweeter than a bushel of candy
Don’t you know the summer is dandy
For a sterling silver spoon
My pretty Mandy
Don’t you know the parson is handy
Come and talk it over with Andy
‘Neath the sterling silver moon
