- Verse:
- I dream of a pretty brown
hair'd maid in Spain.
- Who fans all the sparks
of love into a flame.
- I wish I could be with her
again.
- In that sunny land where
they play love's sweet game.
-
- Chorus:
- Amapola my pretty Amapola,
- You are the sweetest of
all girls in sunny Spain.
- And with you dear beneath
the skies of blue dear,
- Across the rumbling ocean
we can both remain.
- Amapola my loving Amapola,
- I'm trying to forget you
but in vain.
- Amapola, Amapola,
- You're the sweetest little
girl in sunny Spain.
