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.
