Eastern Moon 1907 Kern

With an Eastern caravan
rode an Arab man,
And an Arab maiden too,
One who loved him true,
None other knew for she,
was dressed just as a boy should be.
And to the Eastern moon,
at night this song she'd croon.

Eastern moon,
won't you fade away?
Eastern moon
Won't you please obey?
Come back soon
somewhat later say,
When I call you,
Eastern moon
won't you leave the sky?
While we spoon
my dear love and I,
Won't you try
to oblige me do?

Nestling near him like a bird,
Love was all she heard,
While the camels' tinkling bell,
On the night air fell,
And oft at morning light,
She still was whispering goodnight.
Forgetful of the moon,
who heeded not her croon.

Eastern moon,
won't you fade away?
Eastern moon
Won't you please obey?
Come back soon
somewhat later say,
When I call you,
Eastern moon
won't you leave the sky?
While we spoon
my dear love and I,
Won't you try
to oblige me do?
