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
