[Music and lyrics later revised as "Mandy" (1919)] [Verse:] I was strolling out one evening 'neath the sterling silver moon I could hear somebody singing a familiar tune So I stopped a while to listen Not a word I wanted to miss It was just somebody serenading something like this [Refrain:] Mandy Sweeter than a bushel of candy Don't you know the summer is dandy For a sterling silver spoon? My pretty Mandy Don't you know the parson is handy? Come and talk it over with Andy 'Neath the sterling silver moon
