Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Down where the Ganges River flows
(Where the Ganges River gently flows, far away)
Out where the crimson poppy grows
(Where the crimson poppies in the breeze, gently sway)
India seems to call in my dreams
Soft the voice from far away that seems to say
(seems to say)
Refrain
Down where the Ganges flows
I wait for you by the waters blue
The river sings as it flows along
Repeats my song of love to you
Tho’ many Hindoo moons shall wane
Till you and I shall meet again
My own Himalayan Rose
I’ll wait for you where the Ganges flows
Sung here by Vancha March:
