Nita Juanita ask Thy soul if we should part
Nita Juanita lean Thou on my heart
Soft o'er the fountain ling'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 .
