MY JUANITA
Written by Caroline Norton, arr. Anita Kerr
(Recorded January 16, 1958)
Nita, Juanita, ask thy soul if we should part
Nita, Juanita, lean thou on my heart
Soft o'er the fountain ling'ring falls the southern moon
Far o'er the mountain breaks the day too soon
In thy dark eyes splendor
Where the warm light loves to dwell
Weary looks, yet tender
Speak thy found farewell
(Nita, Juanita, let me linger by your side)
Nita, Juanita, be my own fair bride.
(Nita, Juanita, ask thy soul if we should part)
Nita, Juanita, lean thou on my heart
