Havana moon, Havana moon   Me all alone with jug of rum   Me stand and wait for boat to come   It's long the night, it's quiet the dock   The boat she late since 12 o'clock   Me watch the tide easin' in   Is low the moon, but high the wind      Havana moon, Havana moon   Me all alone, me open the rum   It's long the wait for boat to come   American girl come back to me   We'll sail away across the sea   We'll dock in New York, the buildings high   We'll find a home up in the sky      Havana moon, Havana moon   Me still alone, me sip on the rum   Me wonder where the boat she come   To bring me love, ow! Sweet little thing   She rock and roll, she dance and sing   She hold me tight, she touch me lips   Me eyes they close, me heart she flip      Havana moon, Havana moon   But still alone, me drinkin' the rum   Begin to think the boat no come   American girl, she tell a lie   She say till then, she mean goodbye      Havana moon, Havana moon   Me lay down alone, was good the rum   Me fall asleep, the boat she come   The girl she look till come the dawn   She weep and cry, "Return for home"   The whistle blow, me open me eyes   Was bright the sun, was blue the sky   Me grab me shoes, me jump and run   Me see the boat head for horizon   Havana moon, is gone the rum   The boat she sail, me love she gone   Havana moon, Havana moon
