Where, oh where have you been, my love?
Where, oh where can you be?
It's been so long since the moon has gone
And oh what a wreck you've made me
Are you there over the ocean?
Are you there up in the sky?
Until the return of my love, this lullaby

My hope is on the horizon
Every face, your eyes I can see
I plead and pray though each night and day
Our embrace is only a dream
And sure as days come from moonbeams
Each hour becomes a life's time
When she left, I'd only begun this lullaby
