Way Down On Tampa Bay 1914

Twilight is falling
I'm so lonesome and blue,
Twilight is calling back
sweet mem'ries of you.
and as the night breeze sighs
in the palm trees
some how it seems to say:
My heart is yearning
for your returning
way down on Tampa Bay.

On Tampa Bay
the moonbeams play.
When the harbour lights are gleaming
I am dreaming of the day
you won my heart, dear,
then sailed away.
And you left me so lonely
way down on Tampa Bay.

On Tampa Bay
the moonbeams play.
When the harbour lights are gleaming
I am dreaming of the day
you won my heart, dear,
then sailed away.
And you left me so lonely
way down on Tampa Bay.

Moonlight is slowly
stealing over the sea,
Moonlight, just like the night
you whispered to me,
Then all my gladness
turned into sadness
after I heard you say:
Though we must part, dear,
I leave my heart here,
way down on Tampa Bay.

On Tampa Bay
the moonbeams play.
When the harbour lights are gleaming
I am dreaming of the day
you won my heart, dear,
then sailed away.
And you left me so lonely
way down on Tampa Bay.

On Tampa Bay
the moonbeams play.
When the harbour lights are gleaming
I am dreaming of the day
you won my heart, dear,
then sailed away.
And you left me so lonely
way down on Tampa Bay.
