James Weldon Johnson - Nobody`s Lookin` But De Owl An` De Moon
Work rating: Low

(A Negro Serenade) 

De river is a-glistenin` in de moonlight,
De owl is set`n high up in de tree;
De little stars am twinklin` wid a sof` light,
De night seems only jes fu` you an` me.
Thoo de trees de breezes am a-sighin`,
Breathin` out a sort o` lover`s croon,
Der`s nobody lookin` or a-spyin`,
Nobody but de owl an` de moon.

Nobody`s lookin` but de owl an` de moon,
An` de night is balmy; fu` de month is June;
Come den, Honey, won`t you? Come to meet me soon,
W`ile nobody`s lookin` but de owl an` de moon.

I feel so kinder lonely all de daytime,
It seems I raly don`t know what to do;
I jes keep sort a-longin` fu` de night-time,
`Cause den I know dat I can be wid you.
An` de thought jes sets my brain a-swayin`,
An` my heart a-beatin` to a tune;
Come, de owl won`t tell w`at we`s a-sayin`,
An` cose you know we kin trus` de moon.
