- Verse:
- Dew drops glistening, no
one listening, By the Ganges some one whispering,
- To a Hindoo maid:
- "Though tomorrow, dear,
you will yearn, Don't you sorrow, dear, I'll return,
- To my Hindoo maid."
- Melody bells of love ring
out 'Neath the mellow moon,
- Melody bells that try to
tell you I'm returning soon,
- In the mellow...
-
- Chorus:
- Moonlight on the Ganges,
- My little Hindoo,
- When I whisper'd Love's
sweet melody,
- All our dreams and our schemes
came true.
- Someday on the Ganges,
- I'll meet you once more,
- And I'll kiss you and caress
you,
- Where the waters kiss the
silent shore.
