A rag-style fox-trot novelty song set in the Orient • words by Fred Fisher • music by Felix Bernard Johnny S. Black • Lyrics • 1. Down beside the Dardanella Bay • Where Oriental breezes play • There lives a lonesome maid, Armenian • By the Dardanelles with glowing eyes • She looks across the seas and sighs • And weaves her love spell so Sirenian • Soon I shall return to Turkestan • I will ask for her heart and hand • Chorus: • Oh sweet Dardanella, I love your harem eyes • I'm a lucky fellow to capture such a prize • Oh Allah knows, my love for you and he tells you to be true • Dardanella, Oh hear my sigh, my Oriental • Oh sweet Dardanella, prepare the wedding wine • There's be one girl in my harem, when you're mine • We'll build a tent just like children of the Orient • Oh sweet Dardanella, my star of love divine • 2. When the Turkish Sultan saw her eyes • Oh he was taken by surprise • He said, I'll buy her for my Harem • I just told the Sultan to be nice • She can't be brought for any price • She said to me she couldn't bear him • So beneath the Oriental moon • I'll be wooing my love real soon • --------------------------------------------------- • Adapted from a piano rag called Turkish Tom Tom. Dardanella was most successful as an instrumental. In the song she is a beautiful woman from the Dardanelles, a strait in Turkey. • ---------------------------------------------- • Sung here by Fred Feild • Get the sheet music and MIDI at: • https://www.sheetmusicsinger.com/dard...
