The Confederate Mermaid (Down 2nd)

I’m sittin’ on a rock in the middle o’ the sea.
Waitin’ fer a man the likes of Robert E. Lee.

If I’m to get together with that male pulchritude,
He’s godda know my lonjuh an’ my latitude.

It may be smart, it may be stupid,
But I godda find me a certified cupid.

So in stead of prayin’ I’m lookin’ up an’ sayin’:

Come on down Mister Man in the Moon,
Turn ol’ midnight in to mid-afternoon,
Mister Man in the Moon.

Come on down from your perch high above,
I need you to search fo’ my unknown true love, mister man up above.

The man of my dreams is a man o’ perfection,
So find him and guide him in my direction,
The man of my dreams is a man o’ perfection,
So find him and guide him in my direction.

Come on down Mister Man in the Moon,
Turn ol’ midnight in to mid-afternoon,
Mister Man in the Moon.

Please tell me dear ol’ friend, am I crazy as a loon,
Sit tin’ on a rock conversin’ with the moon?

If you have an answer feel free to have yer say.

Do my eyes deceive me or are you turnin’ a way?

I will not be snubbed, sir don’t you dare!

Now gimme what I asked for, fair an’ square!

Come on down Mister Man in the Moon,
Turn ol’ midnight in to mid-afternoon,
Mister Man in the Moon.

Come on down from your perch high above,
I need you to search fo’ my unknown true love, mister man up above.

The man of my dreams is a man o’ perfection,
So find him and guide him in my direction,
The man of my dreams is a man o’ perfection,
So find him and guide him in my direction.

Come on down Mister Man in the Moon,
Turn ol’ midnight in to mid-afternoon,
Mister Man in the Moon.

I’m here all alone, in the middle o’ nowhere,
About to cry my eyes out without a hanky.

A gentleman you’re not sir.

You’re actin’ lak a yankee!

Come on down, come on down, comma on down.

Come on down from your perch high above,
I need you to search fo’ my unknown true love,
Mister man up above.

Comma, come on bring me love, comma on down

Mister man up above.
