When HOBART meets RAMONA for the first time, her name strikes a cord… literally. HOBART begins to sing: Romona, I hear the missions bells above, Ramona, they’re ringing out our song of love.
Written for the film “Ramona” in 1928
By Mabel Wayne and L. Wolfe Gilbert
I wander out yonder o’er the hills
Where the mountains high, seem to kiss the sky
Someone’s up yonder o’er the hills
Waiting patiently, waiting just for me
Ramona, I hear the mission bells above
Ramona , they’re ringing out our song of love
I press you, caress you
And bless the day you taught me to care
I’ll always remember
The rambling rose you wore in your hair
Ramona, when the day is done you’ll hear my call
Ramona, we’ll meet beside the waterfall
I dread the dawn
When I awake to find you gone
Ramona, I need you, my own
Ramona, I hear the mission bells above
Ramona , they’re ringing out our song of love
I press you, caress you
And bless the day you taught me to care
I’ll always remember
The rambling rose you wore in your hair
Ramona, when the day is done you’ll hear my call
Ramona, we’ll meet beside the waterfall
I dread the dawn
When I awake to find you gone
Ramona, I need you, my own
Sung by greats such as
Louis Armstrong – ?
