Afghanistan 1920

In the land of Afghanistan
there's a Hindu maid and a man
she swore by the stars up above her
that he was the one to love her
but there came another one day
stole his Hindu maiden away.
Hindu man is lonely and blue
in his dreams he's calling to her.

In Afghanistan,
there's a caravan
by the fair oasis waiting for you
and for you only;
cross the desert sand
we will find a temple;
there will be a bridal day
for you my idol,
in Afghanistan.

In Afghanistan,
there's a caravan
by the fair oasis waiting for you
and for you only;
cross the desert sand
we will find a temple;
there will be a bridal day
for you my idol,
in Afghanistan.

All the wealth of Afghanistan
cannot ease the heart of this man
tho' the stars with splendour are shining
Hindu's heart can't stop its pining
though he's trying hard to forget
he has hopes and dreams of her yet.
thinking that she'll come back some day
to his idol he keeps praying.

In Afghanistan,
there's a caravan
by the fair oasis waiting for you
and for you only;
cross the desert sand
we will find a temple;
there will be a bridal day
for you my idol,
in Afghanistan.

In Afghanistan,
there's a caravan
by the fair oasis waiting for you
and for you only;
cross the desert sand
we will find a temple;
there will be a bridal day
for you my idol,
in Afghanistan.
