Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-ooh

When the lone lagoon
Stirs in the spring
Welcoming home some
Swannee white wing

When the maiden moon
Riding the sky
Gathers her star-eyed
Dream children nigh

That is the time of the moon and the year
When love dreams to Indian maidens appear
And this is the song that they hear

When I'm calling you
I will answer too
That means I offer my love to you
To be your own

If you refuse me I will be blue
And waiting all alone
But if when you hear my love call
Ringing clear

And I hear your answering echo so dear
Then I will know
Our love will come true
You'll belong to me
I'll belong to you
