Shenandoah - The Moon Over Georgia Lyrics

He owns a big estate just south of SavannahAnd a high rise hotel in downtown AtlantaAnd half the state of Georgia to his name...She'd be set for life in his colonial manorHe'd lay the world at her feet on a silver platterBut all I had to offer her was the moon.And she took the moon over GeorgiaShe'd rather have a million stars in the sky than a gold mine.She took the moon over GeorgiaWhen it came down to his world or mine she tookThe moon over Georgia.A little country house in need of expansionIt's a far cry from his south Georgia mansionBut we've got our own paradiseShadow dancing till dawn with a full moon shiningAnd those occasional clouds all have a silver liningThere really must be something about that old yellow light'Cause she took the moon over GeorgiaShe'd rather have a million stars in the sky than a gold mineShe took the moon over GeorgiaWhen it came down to his world or mine she tookThe moon over Georgia.She took the moon over Georgia
