- Verse:
- Lonely through the long
weary day,
- Lonely in the gloaming I
stray,
- And in fancy I am down where
Someone's waiting for me.
- Down there where I long
to be roaming,
- Noonlight tells me love's
dream is o'er,
- Moonlight finds me wand'ring
once more.
-
- Chorus:
- Where the moon swings low,
On The Alamo,
- In a garden fair where roses
grow.
- In the tender light of the
summer night,
- I can see her wander to
and fro.
- For she said I'll wait by
the garden gate,
- On the night I said I love
you so.
- And in all my dreams it
seems I go,
- Where the moon swings low,
On The Alamo.
