One, Two, Three, Four - words by S. Kalama & John Kalapana, music by Jack Ailau

 
Down by the stream where I first met Rebecca
Down by the stream where the sun loves to shine
Bright were the garlands I wove for Rebecca
Bright were her eyes as they gazed into mine
 
 
One, two, three, four,
Sometimes I wish there were more
Ein, zwei, drei, vier
I love the one that's near
 
Yet, nee, sam, see,
So says the heathen Chinee
Fair girls bereft, they will get left
One, two and three
 
 
Down by the stream where I first met my treasure
There by the stream where the sun always shines
I'll always remember that moment of pleasure
When she gave me her garland and said she was mine
 
 
Four girls I counted when I was a young man
One was Rebecca the fairest to see
Three girls I counted and sadly I left them
For the one was Rebecca, the one girl for me
