Feeling sad and lonesome, 
I'll tell you the reason why,
Just last 
Monday morning my 
Dony said goodbye,{refrain}
Oh, my love, oh, my love,
Oh, my love, tell her to come back home.
When we were married, bought her everything she'd need,
Got so awful greedy, wanted everything she'd see.{refrain}
Coffee grows on white oak trees, the river flows with brandy,
The hillside's lined with ginger cakes, my 
Dony's sweet as candy.{refrain}
I will ride the old grey horse, you may ride the roan,
If you see my 
Dony, tell her 
I'm sitting at home.{refrain}
