Verse:
I love a girl named Madelin',  I know she loves me, too.
For ev'ry night the moon is bright She rides in my canoe.
At midnight on the river,  I heard her father call.
But she don't care and I don't care,  If we get back at all.
 
Chorus:
'Cause when I'm Paddlin' Madelin' Home,
Gee! when I'm Paddlin' Madelin' Home.
First I drift with the tide,  Then pull for the shore,
I hug her and kiss her and paddle some more.
Then I keep Paddlin' Madelin' Home,
Until I find a spot where we're alone.
Oh! she never says 'no',  So I kiss her and go,
Paddlin' Madelin',  Sweet sweet Madelin',
Paddlin' Madelin' Home.
