By the Light of the Silvery Moon is a barbershop quartet oldie but goldie. No joke: this was a 1909 hit! To this day, many barbershop quartets and choruses have this song in their repertoire. If you've been around long enough, you might know that I sang this arrangement by Madden & Edwards some 10 years ago. Here is a fresh take on this catchy classic!

By the light of the silvery moon I want to spoon
To my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honey moon, keep a' shining in June
Your silv'ry beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddling soon by the silvery moon

LYRICS
Of all the money that eer I had
Ive spent it in good company
And all the harm that eer Ive done
Alas it was to none but me
And all Ive done for want of wit
To memory now I cant recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that eer I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that eer I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
Ill gently rise and Ill softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
ABOUT
The Parting Glass is a Scottish and Irish traditional song, often sung at the end of a gathering of friends. It was allegedly the most popular parting song sung in Scotland before Robert Burns wrote Auld Lang Syne. The poem was printed as a broadside in the 1770s. The earliest known appearance of the tune today associated with this text is as a fiddle tune called The Peacock (1782). This arrangement is inspired by the version of the Wailing Jennies.")
