Paddlin' Madelin' Home 1925

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 02 Jun 2002

I love a girl named Madelin
I know she loves me too,
for ev'ry night the moon is bright
she rides in my canoe,
at midnight on the river
I heard her father call,
but she don't care and I don't care
if we get back at all:

'Cause when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Gee when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
first I drift on the tide then pull for the shore
I hug her and kiss her and paddle some more,
'Cause when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Gee when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Oh! she never says no so I kiss her and go,
Paddlin' Madelin', sweet, sweet Madelin'
Paddlin' Madelin' home.

'Cause when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Gee when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
first I kiss her awhile and when I get through
I paddle for one mile and drift back for two,
'Cause when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Gee when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Oh! if she'd only say
throw your paddles away,
Paddlin' Madelin', sweet, sweet Madelin'
Paddlin' Madelin' home.

The moon comes up at six o'clock
and I come up at eight,
she's always waitin' for my call
and meets me at the gate,
I've petted in the parlour
and hugged her in the hall,
but when she's out in my canoe,
I love her best of all:

'Cause when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Gee when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
first I drift on the tide then pull for the shore
I hug her and kiss her and paddle some more,
'Cause when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Gee when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Oh! she never says no so I kiss her and go,
Paddlin' Madelin', sweet, sweet Madelin'
Paddlin' Madelin' home.

'Cause when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Gee when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
first I kiss her awhile and when I get through
I paddle for one mile and drift back for two,
'Cause when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Gee when I'm paddlin' Madelin' home
Oh! if she'd only say
throw your paddles away,
Paddlin' Madelin', sweet, sweet Madelin'
Paddlin' Madelin' home.
