My Juanita

Nita Juanita
Ask thy soul if we should part
Nita Juanita
Lean thou on my heart

Soft o'er the fountain
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...
