Nita Juanita ask Thy soul if we should part Nita Juanita lean Thou on my heart   Soft o'er the fountain ling'ring falls the southern moon   Far o'er the mountain breaks the day too soon   In Thy dark eyes' splendor where the warm light loves to dwell   Weary looks yet tender speak Thy fond farewell   (Nita Juanita let me linger by your side) Nita Juanita be my own fair bride   (Nita Juanita ask Thy soul if we should part) Nita Juanita lean Thou on my heart
