Just wondered if you had any idea where I could complete my version of 'Goldmine in the Sky' - last song which is very different from the Gene Autry version and I can't find on the web. This version has been adopted by my old rugby club, Ealing in London as club song probably 40 years ago when political correctness hadn't set in but i can't get hold of anyone to fine tune them.


In the evening by the moonlight You can hear the banjos ringing
In the evening by the moonlight You can hear the darkies singing
And the old folks they just watch the world go by
And they listen to the music in the moonlight

Moonlight moonlight jolly fine moonlight
Moonlight moonlight moonlight

And the old folks they just watch the world go by
And they listen to the music in the moonlight

Far a- way, far a- way
We will find that long lost Gold mine some sweet day
And we'll sit up there and watch the world go by
When we find that long lost Gold mine in the sky.

Looks like two songs thrown together- "In the Evening by the Moonlight" and "Goldmine in the Sky," with a couple of short, invented choruses (jolly fine moonlight).
