Description :

The Murray moon, a 'song fox-trot' was published in the early 1920s. The cover records the song as part of: "F.F.F. an Australian mystery musical comedy". The cover artwork features an idyllic bush scene, with a koala and kookaburras in the gum trees smiling over the heroine.

Words from the score include:

"I can hear the Murray calling,

In tones enthralling from out the west..." and from the chorus:

"I see my homestead by the big lagoon,

'Twas but the magic of the Murray moon."
