On the palm cloud above the lakes
I don't want a sprite of dust
Shine little moon shine
So I can thread my needle
I'm sewing sewing my little boots
For dry land and some water
Shine little moon shine
So I can thread my needle
Oh don't go don't go to the lake
Stay home today my daughter
I had a bad dream last night
Don't go little daughter to the water
Today is Thursday tomorrow Friday
I'm sewing sewing my jacket
Shine little moon shine
So I can thread my needle
Thread thread thread thread thread
Green dress red boots
Tomorrow my wedding will be
Shine little moon shine
So I can thread my needle
Oh don't go don't go to the lake
Stay home today my daughter
I had a bad dream last night
Don't go little daughter to the water
The little daughter can't stand still
Something always drives her to the lake
Something always compels her to the lake
Nothing at home nothing to her taste
She soaked the first scarf
Then the bridge collapsed under her
And after the young girl
The water swirled in the depths
Oh don't go don't go to the lake
Stay home today my daughter
I had a bad dream last night
Don't go little daughter to the water
The waves surged from below
Spread out in wide circles
And on the poplar by the rocks
The green man clapped
