Bamboo Lane 1909

Bamboo Lane, Bamboo Lane,
Darkness am a falling;
nightbirds 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 for ever more.

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.

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.

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 silv'ry moon
just winks and smiles with joy
from up above.

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.

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.
