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.
