Trade Winds 1919

In the harbour, in the island,
in the Spanish seas,
Are the tiny white houses
and the orange trees,
And daylong, nightlong,
the cool and pleasant breeze
Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.

There is the red wine,
the nutty Spanish ale,
the shuffle of the dancers,
and the old salt's tale,
The squeaking fiddle,
and the soughing in the sail
Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.

And o'nights there's the fireflies
and the yellow moon,
And in the ghostly palm trees
the sleepy tune
Of the quiet voice calling me,
the long low croon
Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.
