In Honolulu I'm weaving a wreath
I bequeath with all my love to you
A wreath I gathered at dawn
The day my love for you was born
And when the sun's glorious rays
Pierce the haze
Then I'm lost in fear and doubting amaze
And hoping that in the evening you'll wear the wreath for me
Aloha e Aloha e for you and me
And when we dance in the shade of the glade
To that tune they play in Honolulu
My heart sincere feels so queer without fear
I can tell my sweetheart that I love her true
And thro' the night when the light of the sun
Is not shining in fair Honolulu
I hate to leave her
Bereave her or grieve her
The girl I love so true
Aloha e aloha e for me and you
