The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
Shades of night are falling
As the wind begins to sigh
And the world’s silhouetted against the sky
Refrain
Blue shadows on the Trail
Blue moon shinin’ through the trees
And a plaintiff wail from the distance
Comes a driftin’ on the evening breeze
Move along, Blue Shadows, move along
Soon the dawn will come and you’ll be on your way
Until the darkness sheds its veil
There’ll be blue shadows on the trail
Sung here by Vancha March:
