I long for that moon country
That possum and coon country
That sycamore heaven back south
I'll lose my mind till I get there

I long for that old country
That good-for-the soul country
Good for cooking
Things that melt in your mouth

When my cousin, Cindy-Lou
Plays a twilight hymn to you
She makes that old piano
Sound exactly like brand-new

I long for that moon country
That's where I should be
'Cause that old moon country is home to me

Cindy-lou
Twilight hymn to you
She makes that old piano
Sound exactly like brand-new

I long for that moon country
That's where I should be
'Cause that old moon country is home to me
