Listen to the Mockingbird

By Richard Milburn, melody

And Alice Hawthorn, Lyrics 1855

I'm dreaming now of Hallie
my sweet Hallie
my sweet Hallie
I'm dreaming now of my Hallie
for the thought of her is one that never dies.

Listen to the mockingbird
Listen to the mockingbird
The mockingbird still singing o'er her grave

Listen to the mockingbird
Listen to the mockingbird
Still singing where the weeping willows wave
