Shenandoah - The Moon Over Georgia lyrics

He owns a, big estate, just south of Savannah And a high rise hotel in downtown Atlanta Add half the state of Georgia to his name She'd be set for life in his colonial manner He laid the world at her feet on a, silver platter But all I had to offer her, was the moon And she took the moon over Georgia She'd rather have a million stars in the sky, than a gold mine She took the moon over Georgia When it came down to his world or mine she took, the moon over Georgia A little country house, in need of expansion It's far cry from his south Georgia mansion But we've got our own paradise Shadows dancin' till dawn, with a full moon shinin' And those occasional clouds all have a silver lining There really must be something about, that old yellow light 'Cause she took the moon over Georgia She'd rather have a million stars in the sky, than a gold mine Yeah she took the moon over Georgia When it came down to his world or mine, she took the moon over Georgia She took the moon over Georgia
