burl ives – little mohee lyrics
as i was a-walkin’ upon a fine day
i got awful lonesome as the day p-ssed away
i sat down a-musing, alone on the gr-ss
when who should sit by me but a sweet indian l-ss.
2. she sat down beside me and took hold of my hand
said, “you sure be a stranger, and in a strange land.”
she asked me to marry and gave me her hand,
said, “my pappy’s a chieftain all over this land.”
3. “my pappy’s a chieftain, and ruler be he
i’m his only daughter and my name is mohee”
i answered and told her that it never could be
’cause i had my own sweetheart in my own country.
4. i had my own sweetheart, and i knew she loved me
her heart was as true as any mohee
so i said, “i must leave you and goodbye my dear
there’s wind in my canvas and home i must steer.”
5. at home with relations i tried for to see
but there wasn’t a one like my little mohee,
and the girl i had trusted proved untrue to me
so i sailed o’er the ocean to my little mohee.
