Panama - 1919

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 26 Dec 2001

Things are mighty slow,
ev'rywhere I go,
and my heart's been heavy
ev'ry single day,
I've been away,
from the girl that I adore,
since I left that sunny shore,
I've been a lonely chappie
so unhappy
longing to be back once more.

Panama, in sunny Panama,
there's a girlie I can't forget,
I've never met,
such a real good pal,
as my gal Sal,
and she plaits, little hats,
in an old log shanty
by the big canal,
when I reach Panama,
I thank my lucky star,
she'll be waiting to welcome me,
Oh gee! And I shan't be happy
till I get back,
for I left my heart afar,
with my honey, in sunny Panama.

Panama, in sunny Panama,
there's a girlie I can't forget,
I've never met,
such a real good pal,
as my gal Sal,
and she plaits, little hats,
in an old log shanty
by the big canal,
when I reach Panama,
I thank my lucky star,
she'll be waiting to welcome me,
Oh gee! And I shan't be happy
till I get back,
for I left my heart afar,
with my honey, in sunny Panama.

How my heart will beat,
on the day we meet,
I can picture Sally
she'll be mighty glad
to see her lad,
I shall soon be homeward bound,
if I reach there safe and sound,
we'll have a real swell marriage,
horse and carriage,
all the folk for miles around.

Panama, in sunny Panama,
there's a girlie I can't forget,
I've never met,
such a real good pal,
as my gal Sal,
and she plaits, little hats,
in an old log shanty
by the big canal,
when I reach Panama,
I thank my lucky star,
she'll be waiting to welcome me,
Oh gee! And I shan't be happy
till I get back,
for I left my heart afar,
with my honey, in sunny Panama.

Panama, in sunny Panama,
there's a girlie I can't forget,
I've never met,
such a real good pal,

and she plaits, little hats,
in an old log shanty
by the big canal,
when I reach Panama,
I thank my lucky star,
she'll be waiting to welcome me,
Oh gee! And I shan't be happy
till I get back,
for I left my heart afar,
with my honey, in sunny Panama.
