Havana moon, Havana moon
Me all alone with jug [bad word] Me stand and wait for boat [bad word] It's long the night, it's quiet the dock
The boat she late since 12 o'clock
Me watch the tide easin' in
Is low the moon, but high the wind

Havana moon, Havana moon
Me all alone, me open [bad word] It's long the wait for boat [bad word] American [bad word] back to me
We'll sail away across the sea
We'll dock in New York, the buildings high
We'll find a home up in the sky

Havana moon, Havana moon
Me still alone, me sip on [bad word] Me wonder where the boat [bad word] To bring me love, ow! Sweet little thing
She rock and roll, she dance and sing
She hold me tight, she touch me lips
Me eyes they close, me heart she flip

Havana moon, Havana moon
But still alone, me drinkin' [bad word] Begin to think the boat [bad word] American girl, she tell a lie
She say till then, she mean goodbye

Havana moon, Havana moon
Me lay down alone, was good [bad word] Me fall asleep, the boat [bad word] The girl she look [bad word] the dawn
She weep and cry, "Return for home"
The whistle blow, me open me eyes
Was bright the sun, was blue the sky
Me grab me shoes, me jump [bad word] Me see the boat head for horizon
Havana moon, is gone [bad word] The boat she sail, me love she gone
Havana moon, Havana moon
