  *++Lyrics:|\\
I long to be, long to see, you and me\\
Down among the Hula hills,\\
With its pretty little lakes and rills,\\
My heart with rapture fills:\\
I'll ne'er forget little pet when we met\\
Underneath the ever watching moon,\\
I miss those sighing croons,\\
Hawaiian tunes and you.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
My own Iona,\\
From old Halona,\\
Your dark and dreamy eyes\\
They speak of paradise:\\
My Ukelele,\\
Played the Mauna Loa gayly,\\
Halona's calling me,\\
Iona dear, my own.\\
\\
For ev'ry day that I stay, far away\\
From the valley in the tropic isle\\
There's a missing little sunny smile,\\
That haunts me all the while;\\
For ev'ry night that I might, have delight,\\
Being with you, I am all alone,\\
Far from your loving arms,\\
Hawaiian charms and you.\\
\\
