Thread Name: WWI or Span Am War song? Mister moon-a-man
Subject: RE: WWI or Span Am War song? Mister moon-a-man
As I recall it, my folks from Western PA, sang " Oh Mister Moon, Moon, bright and silv'ry Moon, won't you please shine down on me. Oh Mister Moon, Moon, bright and silv'ry Moon, won't you come from behind that tree. You're life's in danger, you better run. Here comes old Fritzie with a gat-a-ling gun." then finishes as the others above. Perhaps they updated it to WWI or WWII status with Fritzie???
