White Ginger Blossoms - Words & Music by R. Alex Anderson
White ginger blossoms Cool and fragrant Sweeter than the rose Fairer too than moonlight     White ginger blossoms From the mountains Fill the thirsty air With exotic fragrance rare     Round your lovely throat you wear My ginger lei Each white petal nestles close and Longs to say "Let me stay here"     White ginger blossoms Cool and fragrant By a mountain pool Guard their sweetness all for you	`awapuhi keo`keo (white ginger) blossoms
