When My Dark Diana Dreams Of Me 1911

Climbing vines and the moss rose twines
round the cabin where my dark Diana sleeps;
Night winds sigh,
and the hoot owl's cry
is enough to give a darky the creeps.
Sleep my baby, and we'll maybe,
sing beneath your window shade;
Come on, boys, stop your fun and noise!
Get you ready for the serenade.

Go to sleep, ma dark Diana,
sleep and dream of me;
You are the sweetest gal in old Savannah,
any one can see.
While you dream your boy
will plan a weddin' soon to be,
I'm so glad that you had me
to be the lucky lad,
When my dark Diana dreams of me.

Go to sleep, ma dark Diana,
sleep and dream of me;
You are the sweetest gal in old Savannah,
any one can see.
While you dream your boy
will plan a weddin' soon to be,
I'm so glad that you had me
to be the lucky lad,
When my dark Diana dreams of me.

I'se afraid, for the everglade
seems to croon a scary lullaby to you;
Folks declare there's a ghost in there
and I 'spect the spook is after us two.
Our teeth chatter, it don't matter!
We ain't scared of no ole shade;
Come boys, sing let your banjos ring,
an' repeat the tune that we just played.

Go to sleep, ma dark Diana,
sleep and dream of me;
You are the sweetest gal in old Savannah,
any one can see.
While you dream your boy
will plan a weddin' soon to be,
I'm so glad that you had me
to be the lucky lad,
When my dark Diana dreams of me.

Go to sleep, ma dark Diana,
sleep and dream of me;
You are the sweetest gal in old Savannah,
any one can see.
While you dream your boy
will plan a weddin' soon to be,
I'm so glad that you had me
to be the lucky lad,
When my dark Diana dreams of me.
