Queen Of Sheba 1921

Just a mile from the Nile
lives a man of mystery,
he claims to be an ancient King,
by the stream he will dream
through the years he seems to see,
Ev'ry night 'neath pale star light
you'll hear him sing.

Queen of Sheba, mine
I kneel at your shrine
through the veil of years
and mist of tears.
Your face appears to me.
I'll meet you there
beyond the Nile
where my dreams beguile,
for our mating time
I'm waiting Queen of Sheba mine.

Queen of Sheba, mine
I kneel at your shrine
through the veil of years
and mist of tears.
Your face appears to me.
I'll meet you there
beyond the Nile
where my dreams beguile,
for our mating time
I'm waiting Queen of Sheba mine.

Sheba, she went to see
Old King Solomon the Wise.
He fell in love with her, they say
though he had many wives
he was captured by her eyes,
He sent her this message
when she went away.

Queen of Sheba, mine
I kneel at your shrine
through the veil of years
and mist of tears.
Your face appears to me.
I'll meet you there
beyond the Nile
where my dreams beguile,
for our mating time
I'm waiting Queen of Sheba mine.

Queen of Sheba, mine
I kneel at your shrine
through the veil of years
and mist of tears.
Your face appears to me.
I'll meet you there
beyond the Nile
where my dreams beguile,
for our mating time
I'm waiting Queen of Sheba mine.
