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
