havana moon

havana moon

havana moon

me all alone with jug of rum

me stand and wait for boat to come

is long de night

is quiet de dark

de boat she late

it's twelve o'clock

me watch de tide easing in

is low de moon but high de wind

havana moon

havana moon

me all alone

me open de rum

is long de wait for boat to come

american girl come back to me

we'll sail away across de sea

we'll dock in new york

de building's high

we find a home in de sky

havana moon

havana moon

me still alone

me sip de rum

me wonder when de boat she come

to bring me love

oh sweet little thing

she rock 'n' roll

she dance and sing

she hold me tight

she touch me lips

me eyes they close

me heart she flip

havana moon

havana moon

but still alone me drinking de rum

begin to think de boat no come

american girl she tell a lie

she say till then
