I `s boun` to see my gal to-night--
Oh, lone de way, my dearie!
De moon ain`t out, de stars ain`t bright--
Oh, lone de way, my dearie!
Dis hoss o` mine is pow`ful slow,
But when I does git to yo` do`
Yo` kiss `ll pay me back, an` mo`,
Dough lone de way, my dearie.
De night is skeery-lak an` still--
Oh, lone de way, my dearie!
`Cept fu` dat mou`nful whippo`will--
Oh, lone de way, my dearie!
De way so long wif dis slow pace,
`T `u`d seem to me lak savin` grace
Ef you was on a nearer place,
Fu` lone de way, my dearie.
I hyeah de hootin` of de owl--
Oh, lone de way, my dearie!
I wish dat watch-dog would n`t howl:--
Oh, lone de way, my dearie!
An` evaht`ing, bofe right an` lef`,
Seem p`int`ly lak hit put itse`f
In shape to skeer me half to def--
Oh, lone de way, my dearie!
I whistles so`s I won`t be feared--
Oh lone de way, my dearie!
But anyhow I`s kin` o` skeered,
Fu` lone de way, my dearie.
De sky been lookin` mighty glum,
But you kin mek hit lighten some,
Ef you `ll jes` say you`s glad I come,
Dough lone de way, my dearie.
