Lyrics
If you ever feel lonesome
And you're down in San Antone
Beg, steal or borrow two nickels or a dime
To call me on the phone
And I'll meet you at Alamo Mission
We can say our prayers
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother
Will heal us as we kneel there
In the moonlight, in the midnight
In the moonlight, midnight moonlight
In the moonlight, in the midnight
In the moonlight, midnight moonlight
If you ever feel sorrow
For things you might have done
With no hope for tomorrow
In the setting of the sun
And the ocean is howling
Of things that might have been
That last good morning sunrise
Will be the brightest you've ever seenDemo Videos
About This Song
Midnight Moonlight is a Peter Rowan song that became a bluegrass standard through Old & In the Way's 1973 recordings with Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, and Vassar Clements. It's a beautiful, haunting tune that showcases the Grateful Dead's deep bluegrass roots.
