Don't you hear my heart whisper through your window, Emaline
It's a lovely night, Emaline, to meander with me.
Oh! have you told your friends, have you told your people, Emaline
Now, come on, hurry up, write them a line 'bout the wedding to be.

Why you know, honey, in the church there's an old bell ringer
just waiting for the time.
D'you know, baby, when I place a ring around your finger
you'll be mine, mine, just mine.

All I do is pray for that Sunday morning sun to shine
When I promenade down the line
Hand in hand with sweet Emaline.
