Let go darlin'

I can feel the night wind call

Guess I'd better go

I like you more than half as much

As I love your Spanish moss

Spanish moss hangin' down

Lofty as the southern love we've found

Spanish moss

Keeps on followin' my thoughts around

Georgia pine and Ripple wine

Memories of Savannah summertime

Spanish moss

Wish you knew what I was sayin'

So I'm rollin' north thinkin'

Of the way things might have been

If she and I could have changed it all somehow

Spanish moss hangin' down

Lofty as the sycamore you've found

Spanish moss

Keeps on followin' my thoughts around

Georgia pine and Ripple wine

Kisses mixed with moonshine and red clay

Spanish moss

Wish you knew what I was sayin'

So I'm rollin' north thinkin'

Of the way things might have been

If she and I could have changed it all somehow

Let go darlin'

I can feel the night wind call

The devil take the cost

I like the way your kisses flow and I love your Spanish moss...
