My San Domingo Maid 1903

Once in San Domingo
lived a dainty litttle maiden,
Her form was small and slender,
her eyes were large and tender.
Many a suitor sought her hand
whose heart with love was laden,
But one alone this maid could please,
a stranger from across the seas,
who came a serenading
He came a serenading.
And thus he sang.

My San Domingo maid
my heart has never strayed
I'm dreaming of you
for I love you
and your mem'ry ne'er shall fade.
You are so near to me
so very dear to me
you are my dainty little
San Domingo maid.

My San Domingo maid
my heart has never strayed
I'm dreaming of you
for I love you
and your mem'ry ne'er shall fade.
You are so near to me
so very dear to me
you are my dainty little
San Domingo maid.

But alas for faithless vows
and protests of devotion,
It will not be the last time,
that love has proved a pastime.
Soon the stranger sailed away
across the briny ocean,
But constant as in days of yore,
She sang his love song o'er and o'er
To still her heart's emotion
to still her heart's emotion
and thus she sang.

My San Domingo maid
my heart has never strayed
I'm dreaming of you
for I love you
and your mem'ry ne'er shall fade.
You are so near to me
so very dear to me
you are my dainty little
San Domingo maid.

My San Domingo maid
my heart has never strayed
I'm dreaming of you
for I love you
and your mem'ry ne'er shall fade.
You are so near to me
so very dear to me
you are my dainty little
San Domingo maid.
