Down In Hindustan 1917

Wand'ring thru a land of the East
Just before the grey day had ceased;
Passed my way a traveller stayed,
Singing of a sweet Hindoo maid.

I shall wait at her gate,
When the first star glows,
Flowers fair all declare
My Hindoo is twin to the rose.
Fate has said we shall wed
There were dreams began
and soon a Hindoo bride'll be my idol
down in Hindustan.

I shall wait at her gate,
When the first star glows,
Flowers fair all declare
My Hindoo is twin to the rose.
Fate has said we shall wed
There were dreams began
and soon a Hindoo bride'll be my idol
down in Hindustan.

When the song and singer passed by,
thru my heart there wandered a sigh;
that night held no sweetheart for me,
I could sing no love melody.

I shall wait at her gate,
When the first star glows,
Flowers fair all declare
My Hindoo is twin to the rose.
Fate has said we shall wed
There were dreams began
and soon a Hindoo bride'll be my idol
down in Hindustan.

I shall wait at her gate,
When the first star glows,
Flowers fair all declare
My Hindoo is twin to the rose.
Fate has said we shall wed
There were dreams began
and soon a Hindoo bride'll be my idol
down in Hindustan.
