On The Bay Of Old Bombay 1915

In Bombay
down in dreamy old Hindu land,
As we wander'd the silv'ry strand,
I won her heart and hand.
My Hindu gal,
Sailing 'way,
When we both met to say "Goodbye"
As I kissed her I whisper'd:
"I will come back soon,
My Hindu gal."

On the Bay of old Bombay,
'Twas there she stole my heart away;
And the tune of the tomtoms
humming, strumming, seemed to say
That temple bells will ring out soon,
Upon a Hindu honeymoon,
And we'll dream love dreams
While the moonlight beams,
On the Bay of Old Bombay.

On the Bay of old Bombay,
'Twas there she stole my heart away;
And the tune of the tomtoms
humming, strumming, seemed to say
That temple bells have rung their tune,
Upon a Hindu honeymoon,
Where the moonlight lies
While my love dream dies,
On the Bay of old Bombay.

Came the day
with my lonely heart beating fast,
Sailing back to my love at last,
To claim her heart and hand;
My Hindu gal.
Bright and gay
I could see by the tropic moon
As they sailed on their honeymoon.
My Hindu gal with my best pal.

On the Bay of old Bombay,
'Twas there she stole my heart away;
And the tune of the tomtoms
humming, strumming, seemed to say
That temple bells will ring out soon,
Upon a Hindu honeymoon,
And we'll dream love dreams
While the moonlight beams,
On the Bay of Old Bombay.

On the Bay of old Bombay,
'Twas there she stole my heart away;
And the tune of the tomtoms
humming, strumming, seemed to say
That temple bells have rung their tune,
Upon a Hindu honeymoon,
Where the moonlight lies
While my love dream dies,
On the Bay of old Bombay.
