As I went out walking upon a fine day
I got awful lonesome as the day
passed away
I sat down a-musing, alone on the grass
When who should sit by me but a sweet
Indian lass.
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."
"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.
I had my ain 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."
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.
Note:
Ives says this derives from a bawdy sailor's song "the
Indian Lass". Mohee probably derives
from Maumee. Or Maui. or
something. RG
