Bright stars a glist'nin'
sil'vry moon shinin'
on a dusky maid
who sits a list'nin' to a coon
singin' her a serenade.
He stops his croonin'
starts a spoonin'
but she whispers:
"No, no, no!
Don't you say it,
sing and play it!"
Den he hums wid his banjo:

Maizy, ma dusky daisy,
de skies are hazy
when we're apart,
Maizy, ma dusky daisy,
'twould drive me crazy
to lose yo' heart.

Maizy, ma dusky daisy,
de skies are hazy
when we're apart,
Maizy, ma dusky daisy,
'twould drive me crazy
to lose yo' heart.

She doesn't murmur when his lips
down upon her own are placed,
he holds her firmer
den he slips both his arms
around her waist.
Now there's a sequel
Sunday week will be
de day de church bell rings.
I invite you, I've a right to,
'cause it's me maself dat sings:

Maizy, ma dusky daisy,
de skies are hazy
when we're apart,
Maizy, ma dusky daisy,
'twould drive me crazy
to lose yo' heart.

Maizy, ma dusky daisy,
de skies are hazy
when we're apart,
Maizy, ma dusky daisy,
'twould drive me crazy
to lose yo' heart.
