Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. My Pretty Mohea. As I went out walking for pleasure one day, In sweet recreation to while the time away, While I was amusing myself on the grass, Oh, who should I spy but a fair Indian lass. She sat down beside me and, taking my hand, Said: You are a stranger and in a strange land But if you will follow, you’re welcome to come And dwell in the cottage that I call my home. The sun was fast setting ,far o’er the soft sea, When I wandered alone with my pretty Mohea. Together we wandered, together did rove Till we came to the hut in the cocoa-nut grove. Then this kind expression she made unto me, If you will consent , Sir, to stay here with me, And go no more roving upon the salt sea, I’ll teach you the language of the lass of Mohea. Oh,no,my dear maiden, that never could be, For I have a true love in my own country. And I’ll not forsake her , for I know she loves me, And her heart is as true as the pretty Mohea. ‘Twas early one morning in May, one morning in May, That to this fair maiden these words I did say: I’m going to leave you, so farewell, my dear, My ship’s sails are spreading and home I must steer. The last time I saw her she stood on the sand, And as my boat passed her, she waved me her hand, Saying: When you have landed with the girl that you love, Think of little Mohea in the cocoa-nut grove. And then when I landed on my own native shore, With friends and relations around me once more, I gazed all about me, - not one could I see That I could compare with the pretty Mohea. And the girl that I trusted proved untrue to me, So I’ll turn my course backward far o’er the deep sea, I’ll turn my course backward, from this land I’ll flee, I’ll go spend my days with my pretty Mohea. folk song he Little Mohee Indian Mohee Island Mohee Little Mohea One Morning in May Pretty Maumee song and music betrayal The Lass of Mohay The Lassie Mohee The Little Maumee The Little Mawhee The Pretty Mohea The Pretty Mohee https://omeka-test.library.appstate.edu/files/original/4c3f2842cdc21df36ffea65868475cfa.pdf d3f551169fc66344f79fe394cc8bea41 PDF Text Text The Pretty :Iollea.
