In the pale moonlight we quarreled one night

Our hearts were young and free

I left her there alone at night

I thought she was two-timin' me



   On a lonesome night and far from home

   I heard a mourn-ful sound

   The girl I love is call-in' me

   She thinks I turned her down



She begged me not to leave her there

She said she had been true

But a jealous heart would not believe

Oh how I long for you



So now I'm on my way back home

Sweetheart do you still care

I promise never to leave your side

And your love I always share
