Lyrics
1. There’s an old log cabin on the Swanee shore
Far away
That’s the place my heart is always pining for
Night and day
Pretty little maiden waiting there for me
By the door
When the steamboat floats along the old Swanee
I’ll sing to the shore
Chorus:
Mandy Lane, Mandy Lane
Moon am shining on the fields of Sugar cane
All o’ the time in rain or shine
Promise you’ll be true
Oh, Mandy come to me do, I long for you
I’m your honey boy and you’re my Lady Lou
Mandy, my pretty Mandy Lane, I love you
2. When the cotton fields are bathed in soft moonlight
Loving time
‘Neath the ivy vine se spoon each Summer night
Joy sublime
Preacher’s g’wine to tie the knot next Sunday morn
Glad we’ll be
Life will always be one grand, sweet honeymoon
For Mandy and me
