Evelina, won't ya ever take a shine to that moon? 

Evelina, ain't ya bothered by the bobolink's tune? 

Tell me, tell me how long 

Ya gonna keep delayin'the day. 

Don't ya reckon it's wrong 

Trifflin' with April this way? 

Evelina, won't ya pay a little mind to me soon? 

Wake up! wake up! 

The earth is fair, the fruit is fine 

But what's the use o' smellin' winter water melon 

Clingin' to another fella's vine? 

Evelina, won't ya roll off that vine an' be mine?
