There's a full moon rising just above the trees casting silver shadows across the house and lawn there's a mocking bird singing his song is on the breeze its been too many days that i've been gone
Oh my Pennsylvania home cool me in your mountain streams forests tall and laurel greens shelter me in your mansions wild i'll take care of all you share i'll love you like a child
A freight rolls through the valley you can hear him from afar rumbling like a distant storm tumbling through the night his headlamp from a distance is a brilliant shooting star rolling on to dawn's first golden light
Oh my Pennsylvania home....
There's my darling on the front porch i rush to her embrace the days apart are over now if only for awhile how i've missed those loving arms and that pretty face beaming with that old familiar smile
There's a full moon rising just above the trees casting silver shadows across the house and lawn there's a mocking bird singing his song is on the breeze its been too many days that i've been gone
