A tasket,
A green and yellow basket,
I wrote a letter to my love,
And on the way, I dropped it.

And put it in his pocket.

God bless the somebody I'd like to see!

Moon, O Moon in the empty sky,
Why do you swing so low?

Ceylon and the Great Plateau,
Over the seas where Sinbad sailed,
Where Moses crossed and Pharaoh failed,--
There's where I always go.
