To,day there is a lonesome dove

she waits and calls for her true love

distressed in yonder lonesome pine

he's late, she cries it's time to dine.

Then, as the evening shadows fall

her faithful love resolves to call;

As twilight hush begins to creep,

They will dine and then they sleep.

Tomorrow brings a brand new day

she's singing as the sun shades sway,

up on her limb her flight does go,

again her heart pines for her beau.

Soon for her beau agian she pines

A treasured night safe as you know.
