My Dusky Ola 1903

In sunny Pensacola
'mid the fields
of corn and rye,
lives a captivating
little dusky maid,
Ev'ry evening
when the sil'vry moon shines
from its loft on high,
'tis then I go to meet her
'neath a palm tree's gentle shade.
Her eyes are like the sunlight
and they always seem a glow,
and though I see her often, still,
my future I don't know.
I've never popped the question yet,
for fear 't'would be in vain,
but some day I will go to her
and sing this sweet refrain.

My dusky Ola
from Pensacola
you are my fascinating
charming southern queen.
when stars are peeping
and I am sleeping
tis then of only you I dream
I love you dearly,
tell me sincerely
that your heart belongs
to me and me alone,
there are other girls 'tis true,
but I want only you,
Oh promise that you'll be
my dusky Ola.

My dusky Ola

there are other girls 'tis true,
but I want only you,
Oh promise that you'll be
my dusky Ola.

From early morn till
late at night
she has my heart a whirl,
for I fairly idolize
my lady love,
in all this world
I'm sure you cannot find
a sweeter girl,
than Ola dear,
for she's as true
as stars that shine above.
My heart keeps palpitating
when I hold her hand in mine.
And gaze into her soft brown eyes
that seem to ever shine.
She knows I love her dearly
and I'm sure she loves me too,
but when I speak of love she laughs
so what am I to do.

My dusky Ola
from Pensacola
you are my fascinating
charming southern queen.
when stars are peeping
and I am sleeping
tis then of only you I dream
I love you dearly,
tell me sincerely
that your heart belongs
to me and me alone,
there are other girls 'tis true,
but I want only you,
Oh promise that you'll be
my dusky Ola.
