Lyrics
1. Bamboo Lane, Bamboo Lane
Darkness am a falling
Night-birds softly calling
Bamboo Lane, Bamboo Lane
Waiting for my Lucy Jane
Where the Swannanoa gently flows
The bamboo proudly grows along the shore
Where fond lovers nightly bill and coo
And promise to be true forever more
Chorus:
Down Bamboo Lane, Down Bamboo Lane
Big eyes of blue seem to whisper to you
"Come nestle, Honey, my love for you is true"
Down Bamboo Lane, Love's sweet refrain
Floats on the breeze thro' the trees
Down Bamboo Lane
2. Bamboo Lane, Bamboo Lane
Cupid's mighty busy
Love just makes you dizzy
Bamboo Lane, Bamboo Lane
Kisses sweet as April rain
Twinkling stars up in the sky so bright
Are dancing with delight, my lady love
And the man who owns the silvery moon
Just winks and smiles with joy from up above
