Sleepy Desert

Awake, awake, you sleepy desert
Awake, awake, it's a-comin' day
Stick your head out of the window
And see what your true lover saysSome people say that courting's pleasure
Oh what pleasure do I see
The dearest girl in this world
Has gone and turned her back on meAwake, awakeYou needn't to bother asking my papa
He's in his room taking his rest
And in his hand he holds a weapon
To kill the man that I love bestAwake, awakeI have no one to follow to the bedroom
I have no one to sleep with me
I have a wife way up in heaven
And the lord knows she loves meAwake, awake
