Havana Moon

(Chant)

Me all alone

Jug of rum

Me stand and wait for the boat to come

Is lonely night, is quiet the dark

The boat, she late, it's 12 o' clock

Me watches the tide easing in

Is low the moon, but high the wind

Havana Moon [x2]

Me all alone

Me open the rum

Is long the wait for the boat to come

American girl, come back to me

Sail away across the sea

We dock in New York, the buildings high

We find a home up in the sky

Me still alone, me drinking the rum

Begin to think that the boat no come

American girl, she tell a lie

She say till then, but she mean goodbye

Me lay down alone, no good the rum

Me fall asleep and the boat she come

The girl she look till come the dawn

She weep and she cry

Return for home

The whistle blow, me open my eyes

Bright the sun, blue the sky

Me grab me shoes, me jump and me run

Me see the boat head for horizon

Havana Moon, is gone da rum

The boat she sail, me love she gone
