Johnny Cash - Aloha Oe

Proudly swept the rain cloud by the cliffs
As on it glided through the trees
Still following ever the "liko"
The "Ahihi lehua" of the vale

Farewell to thee
Farewell to thee
Thou charming one who dwellst among the bow'rs
One fond embrace
Before I now depart
Until we meet again

Thus sweet memories come back to me
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
Dearest one, yes, thou art mine own
From thee, true love shall ne'er depart

Farewell to thee
Farewell to thee
Thou charming one who dwellst among the bow'rs
One fond embrace
Before I now depart
Until we meet again

I have seen and watched thy loveliness
Thous sweet Rose of Maunawili
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
And sip the honey from thy lips

My two cents worth
