Little Mohee

As I went out walking alone one fine day

I got all lonesome as the day passed away

I sat down a-musing alone on the grass

When who should walk by me but a sweet Indian lass

She come and sat by me and took hold of my hand

Said, "You're sure a stranger out in a far strange land."

She asked me to marry and offered a hand

Said, "My pappy's a chieftain all over this land

My pappy's a chieftain and he ruler be

I'm his only daughter and my name is Mohi."

I answered it to her 'cause that it never could be

'Cause I have a dear sweetheart in my own country

I will not forsake her 'cause I know she loves me

Her heart is as true as any Mohi

So I'll go on to leave you now, fair fair you my dear

There's wind in my trim vest, to my home I must steer

At home with relations I tried for to see

But they were all among like my lovely Mohi

And the girl I had trusted proved untrue to me

So I sailed back o'er the ocean to my darling Mohi!
