Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Queen of my heart
Should we part and years roll away
Trust in our fate
And wait for the wonderful day
Refrain
When my roving caravan
Comes to offer sacrifices
Bearing silks from far Japan
Bringing Java’s scented spices
Rings of gold from Hindustan
Beads from Burma’s amber foam
At your feet I’ll fawn when out of the dawn
My caravan comes home
