Lazy moon,
Come out soon!
Make my poor heart be warmer.
Light the way
Bright as day,
For my sweet little charmer.

Now she’s to meet me in the lane tonight,
If the sky is bright and clear.
Oh moon, don’t keep me waiting here tonight,
Watchin’ and awaiting,
Heart a-palpitating,
Longing for my little lady love.

Lazy moon,
Lazy moon,
Why don’t you show your face upon the hill?
Lazy moon,
Come out soon!
You can make me happy, if you will.

Now when my lady sees your face a peeping (a peeping)
Then I know a promise she’ll be keeping (be keeping).
Tell me, what’s the matter, are you sleeping,
Lazy moon?
