Words and music by Reginald de Koven and Harry B. Smith, arranged and adapted by Joe Flood

lyrics

By the river when night is dark
What's that music you hear there? Hark!
Can't you hear it on the breeze
Just like the buzzing of the bees?
That's the serenade I sing
That gal of mine
And to her I sing

Chloe, I'm waiting here in the moonlight
Waiting alone for you
Come, on the banjo I'll play a tune light
Telling you that my love is true
Chloe, the moonbeams shine on the river
Come in my light canoe
Under the stars we will sail, my Chloe
Just for to bill and coo

By her cabin I linger late
Cold I'm catching here while I wait
What if I should catch a chill?
Who's to pay the doctor's bill?
That's the way I talk to her
That gal of mine
Then to her I sing

Chloe, I'm waiting here in the moonlight
Waiting alone for you
Come, on the banjo I'll play a tune light
Telling you that my love is true
Chloe, the moonbeams shine on the river
Come in my light canoe
Under the stars we will sail, my Chloe
Just for to bill and coo
