HAVANA MOON

Chuck Berry



Havana moon, Havana moon

Me all alone with jug of rum

Me stand and wait for boat to come

It's long the night, it's quiet the dock

The boat she late since 12 o'clock

Me watch the tide easin' in

Is low the moon, but high the wind



Havana moon, Havana moon

Me all alone, me open the rum

It's long the wait for boat to come

American girl come back to me

We'll sail away across the sea

We'll dock in New York, the buildings high

We'll find a home up in the sky



Havana moon, Havana moon

Me still alone, me sip on the rum

Me wonder where the boat she come

To bring me love, ow! Sweet little thing

She rock and roll, she dance and sing

She hold me tight, she touch me lips

Me eyes they close, me heart she flip



Havana moon, Havana moon

But still alone, me drinkin' the rum

Begin to think the boat no come

American girl, she tell a lie

She say till then, she mean goodbye



Havana moon, Havana moon

Me lay down alone, was good the rum

Me fall asleep, the boat she come

The girl she look till come the dawn

She weep and cry,
