Silver Dew on the Bluegrass Tonight
| Artist: | Bob Wills (vocalist Tommy Duncan) |
| Writer: | Ed Burt |
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
May God protect you darling over there
Silver dew on the bluegrass tonight
How it shines in the moon's silver light
Soldier boy so far from me how I wish that you could see
Silver dew on the bluegrass 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 bluegrass tonight
While I pray you'll come safe through the fight
Close your eyes and think of me and my darling you will see
Silver dew on the bluegrass tonight
