Lucia 1906

There's a girl I know
met her long ago
in the fairest land
in all the south;
She had hair of jet
eyes you'd not forget
pearly teeth and dimpled,
smiling mouth.
When at Venice there,
met this maiden fair,
and in true Italian style I made
Courtship that was sweet,
and when we would meet,
To her I would sing this Serenade.

Oh, Lucia, for you I pine,
Come to me, ah,
do not decline;
For I want to hear you sing
so prettily,
as you sang in sunny Italy.
Ah, say you will be mine
Oh, Lucia for you I pine,
Come to me, ah,
do not decline
for I want to hear you sing so prettily
as you sang in sunny Italy
Ah, say you will be mine.

But this maiden fair,
had a sweetheart there,
though I didn't find it out at first;
He was a brigand bold,
and from what I'm told,
He must certainly have been the worst.
When he made a threat,
of a sharp stillett,
Unless I would go,
why I obeyed.
Now from distance far,
I tune my guitar,
when I want to sing this Serenade.

Oh, Lucia, for you I pine,
Come to me, ah,
do not decline;
For I want to hear you sing
so prettily,
as you sang in sunny Italy.
Ah, say you will be mine
Oh, Lucia for you I pine,
Come to me, ah,
do not decline
for I want to hear you sing so prettily
as you sang in sunny Italy
Ah, say you will be mine.
