Suki San 1917

In a lotus perfumed bow'r
Far away in old Japan,
Kissed by cherry blossom show'r,
'Neath an oriental fan;
Where the wisteria's streaming,
Two eyes with lovelight are beaming;
I recall each golden hour
dreaming of my Suki San.

Where the cherry blossoms fall,
Underneath a bamboo wall,
down beside a starkissed sapphire sea,
While a little maiden waits for me,
She hums a lonesome lovesick tune,
to that olden golden moon;
Suki San, I hear you call,
Where the cherry blossoms fall.

Where the cherry blossoms fall,
Underneath a bamboo wall,
down beside a starkissed sapphire sea,
While a little maiden waits for me,
She hums a lonesome lovesick tune,
to that olden golden moon;
Suki San, I hear you call,
Where the cherry blossoms fall.

Where the colored lanterns sway
in that fragrant flowered land,
How I'd love once more to stray,
As we used to hand in hand,
where Fuji Yama is peeping,
While Yokohama is sleeping;
On that mellow moonlit strand
with my little Suki San.

Where the cherry blossoms fall,
Underneath a bamboo wall,
down beside a starkissed sapphire sea,
While a little maiden waits for me,
She hums a lonesome lovesick tune,
to that olden golden moon;
Suki San, I hear you call,
Where the cherry blossoms fall.

Where the cherry blossoms fall,
Underneath a bamboo wall,
down beside a starkissed sapphire sea,
While a little maiden waits for me,
She hums a lonesome lovesick tune,
to that olden golden moon;
Suki San, I hear you call,
Where the cherry blossoms fall.
