unknown - little mama lyrics
the little maumee
as i was a-roving for pleasure one day,
in self-recollection as the tine p-ssed away,
as i was amusing myself on the gr-ss,
oh, who should i spy but a sweet indian l-ss.
she stood there beside me and took up my hand,
saying, “you look like a stranger, not one of this land.”
says she, “my pale-faced one, if you will agree,
i will teach you the language of the little maumee”
she sat down beside me still holding my hand,
saying, “you look like a stranger, not one of this land.”
says she, “my pale-faced one, if you will consent,
we’ll live here together in peace and content.”
” o no, my fair jewel, that never can be,
for i have a sweetheart in my own country.
o no my fair jewel, that never can be;
i’ll never forsake her, and i know she won’t me.”
the last time i saw her was down on the sand,
and as my boat p-ssed she gave me her hand,
saying ” wherever you wander, wherever you go,
remember the maiden where the cocoanuts grow.”
now i am back on my own native sh-r-,
with friends and relatives around me once more ;
of all that’s around me and all that i see,
there is none to compare with the little maumee.
