Neptune's Daughter 1914 'Ziegfield's Follies 1914'

Down by the seaside,
where waves were rolling,
a boy went strolling
moonlight night,
he was watching the fish at play.
That very evening
beside the water,
sat Neptune's daughter
when he spied
her pretty face he cried.

Lovely little Neptune's daughter,
living underneath the water,
I love you.
yes I do,
you seem to me to be lonely,
When the moon begins to glimmer
if I were a deep sea swimmer,
then I'd go down below,
my little queen of the sea.

Once he went fishing,
where waves were rolling,
he started strolling
hours went by,
then the shadows began to fall.
His heart was lonely
he sat there thinking,
the sun was sinking
from the blue
there came a voice he knew.

Lovely little Neptune's daughter,
living underneath the water,
I love you.
yes I do,
you seem to me to be lonely,
When the moon begins to glimmer
if I were a deep sea swimmer,
then I'd go down below,
my little queen of the sea.
