(Verse 1)
I'm dreaming now of Hallie
Sweet Hallie, sweet Hallie
I'm dreaming now of Hallie
For the thought of her is one that never dies
She's sleeping in the valley
The valley, the valley
She's sleeping in the valley
And the mockingbird singing where she lies
(Chorus)
Listen to the mockingbird, listen to the mockingbird
The mockingbird is singing o'er her grave
Listen to the mockingbird, listen to the mockingbird
Still singing where the weeping willows wave
(Verse 2)
Ah well I yet can remember
I remember, I remember
Ah well I yet can remember
When we gathered in the cotton side by side
'Twas in the mild mid-September
In September, in September
'Twas in the mild mid-September
And the mockingbird was singing far and wide
(Chorus)
Listen to the mockingbird, listen to the mockingbird
The mockingbird is singing o'er her grave
Listen to the mockingbird, listen to the mockingbird
Still singing where the weeping willows wave
(Verse 3)
When charms of spring are awaken
Are awaken, are awaken
When charms of spring are awaken
And the mockingbird is singing on the bough
I feel like one so forsaken
So forsaken, so forsaken
I feel like one so forsaken
Since my Hallie is no longer with me now
(Chorus)
Listen to the mockingbird, listen to the mockingbird
The mockingbird is singing o'er her grave
Listen to the mockingbird, listen to the mockingbird
Still singing where the weeping willows wave
