The moon above
Am shining, love
I'm out here waiting
Don't be so shy
I can't see why
You're hesitating
Come out and meet me, lady
You are my dark-eyed baby
Come, love, don't be afraidy
My little honey, do
Here while the stars are peeping
And all the world am sleeping
My promise I'll be keeping, love, to you

Queenie, my own
I'll build a nice little home
Where we can live all alone
And from you I'll never roam
Say you'll be mine
Oh! honey, please don't decline
And all the stars will then shine
For you and me

Impatiently
I wait for thee
Here in the moonlight
Don't be afraid
My dusky maid
This is a spoonlight
Now, don't be hesitating
The birds above are mating
My love, I'll be relating
To you, my dusky queen
Think, dear, of what you're missing
Loving and lots of kissing
Come out, my love, and listen to my plea
