Awake, awake, you sleepy desert
Awake, awake, it's a-comin' day
Stick your head out of the window
And see what your true lover says

Some people say that courting's pleasure
Oh what pleasure do I see
The dearest girl in this world
Has gone and turned her back on me

Awake, awake...

You needn't to bother asking my papa
[From: http://www.elyrics.net]
He's in his room taking his rest
And in his hand he holds a weapon
To kill the man that I love best

Awake, awake...

I have no one to follow to the bedroom
I have no one to sleep with me
I have a wife way up in heaven
And the lord knows she loves me

Awake, awake...
