Evelina, won't ya ever take a shine to that moon? 
Evelina, ain't ya bothered by the bobolink's tune? 
Tell me, tell me how long 
Ya gonna keep delayin'the day. 
Don't ya reckon it's wrong 
Trifflin' with April this way? 
Evelina, won't ya pay a little mind to me soon? 
Wake up! wake up! 
The earth is fair, the fruit is fine 
But what's the use o' smellin' winter water melon 
Clingin' to another fella's vine? 
Evelina, won't ya roll off that vine an' be mine?
