Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- In Hindustan a lovesick Hindu man
Nightly serenaded a Miss
There ‘neath the moon love songs he’d croon
It would please her when he’d sing like this
Chorus
Under a bright Hindu moon
Singing an old Hindu tune
When you’re beside me
Your eyes can guide me
To lands where lovers croon so sweetly
I’ll ask the old Hindu moon
To shine his brightest in June
For there might be a wedding
Underneath a Hindu moon
- Tho she replies with lovelight in her eyes
Sometimes she refuses the ring
But he’ll just smile in Hindu style
Then once more he starts right in to sing
Sung here by Fred Feild:
