Moonlight makes me lonely each night far from our rendez-vous
wondering, darling, whether you might be wishing that I were with you
Down a-mong the shel-tering palms Oh honey, wait for me wait for me
come and Meet me by the old gol-den gate out When the sun is settin' 'round about 8
Oh how my love keeps burning, burning, burning How my heart is yearning, yearning, yearning to be
down, Among the shel-tering palms Oh honey wait for me Oh honey wait for me
I'm way down east, down east
And my heart is pining, pining for you
You're way out west, out west
And my soul is craving, craving for you
I love you so, just you, I know
It takes six days to go there with a train
Just one week more, and I'll be with you again
I long to be
When I was south, down south
There I saw some pretty, pretty places
When I was north, way north
I saw many, many pretty faces
Not one so fair, none could compare, I know
There's only one place way out in the west
And you are there, where with you I long to rest
I long to be
I'm way down east, down east
And my heart is pining, pining for you
You're way out west, out west
And my soul is craving, craving for you
I love you so, just you, I know
It takes six days to go there with a train
Just one week more, and I'll be with you again
I long to be
When I was south, down south
There I saw some pretty, pretty places
When I was north, way north
I saw many, many pretty faces
Not one so fair, none could compare, I know
There's only one place way out in the west
And you are there, where with you I long to rest
I long to be
