When it's sugarcane time
Along around about June
I'll be walking with sugar
Neath the old sugar moon
I'm gonna drop her a line
To expect me soon
Say I'm craving some sugar
Neath the old sugar moon
But I can see her right now
She'll get the calendar down
Scratch a circle around
The date we're altar bound
When it's sugarcane time
Along around about June
I'll be walking with sugar
Neath the old sugar moon
When the sugar moon shines
Along around about June
Wedding bells will be chiming
Neath the old sugar moon
All the kisses I've missed
I'll be getting them soon
Them kisses from sugar
Neath the old sugar moon
Well, I'll be dreaming sweet dreams
Of all the loving I'll get
Till I get back with my pet
Oh, lawdy, how I will fret
When it's sugarcane time
Along around about June
I'll be walking with sugar
Neath the old sugar moon
Well I can see her right now
She'll get the calendar down
And scratch a circle around
The date we're altar bound
When it's sugarcane time
Along around about June
I'll be walking with sugar
Neath that old sugar moon
