Oh, I know she is waitin' by her window tonight
In the cabin at the end of the lane
Where the roses bloom in the sweet month of June
Tell my darlin, I'll be there very soon

Go tell my sweetheart I'm lonely tonight
Give her my token of love
Go tell her please do, that my heart is still true
Drift along drift along southern moon

Drift along southern moon up in heaven on high
As the stars they twinkle in the sky
Rest your weary head on a snow white cloud
As we go drifting by...
