Moonlight gleaming on the golden sand,
In that far away Hawaiian land
Lights are burning low In a bungalow,
Plaintively a ukulele rings
Hula maiden waiting patiently,
For her brown skin boy across the sea
One day he left her, of joys bereft her,
Tenderly of him she always sings
Come back to old Hawaii and me,
Come back, dear, where you ought to be
For there's a bungalow that's waiting here for you,
And there's a hula hula maiden who is faithful and true
Every breeze through the trees seems to bring to me
Memories that ever cling to me
So, come back, come back across the blue sea
Back to Hawaii and me
Brown skin boy upon a foreign strand
Playing in a ukulele band
In a cabaret, every night he'll play
Melancholy strains so tenderly
Soon his vagrant thoughts begin to roam
Back to her who waits across the foam
His heart is longing, mem'ries come thronging
Night and day he seems to hear her say
Come back to old Hawaii and me,
Come back, dear, where you ought to be
For there's a bungalow that's waiting here for you,
And there's a hula hula maiden who is faithful and true
Every breeze through the trees seems to bring to me
Memories that ever cling to me
So, come back, come back across the blue sea
Back to Hawaii and me
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for these lyrics.
