On That Old Hawaiian Shore With You

(álbum: I've Been Everywhere - 1963)

There's a faraway island 'neath the silvery moonlight
Just a paradise of dreams across the sea
There's a maiden all alone and still waiting
On that old Hawaiian shore for me

The tears they were falling and the night birds were calling
As the breeze that night played through her hair so free
The palm trees were swaying south guitars were playing
Aloha oe, farewell to thee

Happy lovers were strolling lazy waters were rolling
As my ship set sail and drifted out to sea
The moon seemed to wonder as he watched from up yonder
When my darling waved a last goodbye to me

When the shadows of twilight blend with gold of the sunset
I'll be heading for that isle where dreams come true
'Mid that tropical splendor my heart will surrender
On that old Hawaiian shore with you

The tears they were falling and the night birds were calling
As the breeze that night played through her hair so free
The palm trees were swaying south guitars were playing
Aloha oe, farewell to thee
