  *++Lyrics:|\\
Emaline don't you pine dearie,\\
Summer time, you know is near,\\
Don't feel blue, smile and be cheery,\\
When roses bloom I'll return little girl to you.\\
\\
//patter chorus: //\\
Emaline, Emaline, the silv'ry moon on a June night will shine,\\
Into a garden fair I'll be there,\\
To claim one of the flowers mine,\\
When the nightbirds softly coo of their love,\\
My love star may be hiding above, I won't mind; 'cause I'll find,\\
The light of love in your eyes\\
Emaline. Emaline. Emaline my little darling\\
Emaline, Emaline, you know the moon is gonna shine\\
Into a garden down in Dixie, honey, where I'm gonna ask you to be mine\\
You know I'll love to see you in a pretty wedding gown\\
And the folks for many miles around the town.\\
Like me, I know they're gonna long for the wedding time.\\
If the night is very still and dear you will be waitin'\\
I'll be there\\
And you'll see\\
Night birds cooing to their little mates of love will not be happy as me\\
I won't pine because I know I'm gonna find\\
Emaline that you're been waiting all the time\\
The light of love in your pretty eyes says,\\
That you're gonna be mine.\\
\\
Emaline when you're mine dearie,\\
You will be sunshine to me,\\
Then the days, will not be dreary,\\
'Cause when you smile it will make ev'rything worth while.\\
\\
