Verse:
Banjos are a ringing, and the folks a singing, Down on Mobile Bay,
Stars are brightly shining, and my heart is pining, For the south each day.
My sweetheart is waiting, cute and fascinating, Where I left her by the ocean shore,
That is why I'm yearning, and my thoughts are turning, To Mobile once more.
 
Chorus:
On Mobile Bay, Honey stole my heart away,
Beside the sea, When she gave a loving kiss to me.
She said "Goodbye", While the moon was shining high,
On the dreaming, beaming, gleaming Mobile Bay.
