Burl Ives - Little Mohee       As I was a-walkin' upon a fine day   I got awful lonesome as the day passed away   I sat down a-musing, alone on the grass   When who should sit by me but a sweet Indian lass.      2. She sat down beside me and took hold of my hand   Said, "You sure be a stranger, and in a strange land."   She asked me to marry and gave me her hand,   Said, "My pappy's a chieftain all over this land."      3. "My pappy's a chieftain, and ruler be he   I'm his only daughter and my name is Mohee"   I answered and told her that it never could be   'Cause I had my own sweetheart in my own country.      4. I had my own sweetheart, and I knew she loved me   Her heart was as true as any Mohee   So I said, "I must leave you and goodbye my dear   There's wind in my canvas and home I must steer."      5. At home with relations I tried for to see   But there wasn't a one like my little Mohee,   And the girl I had trusted proved untrue to me   So I sailed o'er the ocean to my little Mohee.
