Why the dearest day of my life
were Bandana Days, Bandana Days,
though filled with turmoil,
trouble and strife,
dearest mem'ries will live always.

In those dear old Bandana Days,
Cane and cotton
ne'er forgotten
Bandana Days.
And those quaint old Bandana ways
when our dads were courting
our dear mammies,
they were sure some bashful sammies,
and in all their Bandana plays,
Banjos strummin'
they'd be hummin'
Bandana lays.
And in the pale moonlight
they'd swing left and right,
in those dear old Bandana Days.

In those dear old Bandana Days,
Cane and cotton
ne'er forgotten
Bandana Days.
And those quaint old Bandana ways
when our dads were courting
our dear mammies,
they were sure some bashful sammies,
and in all their Bandana plays,
Banjos strummin'
they'd be hummin'
Bandana lays.
And in the pale moonlight
they'd swing left and right,
in those dear old Bandana Days.

Why the dearest day of my life
were Bandana Days, Bandana Days,
though filled with turmoil,
trouble and strife,
dearest mem'ries will live always.

In those dear old Bandana Days,
Cane and cotton
ne'er forgotten
Bandana Days.
And those quaint old Bandana ways
when our dads were courting
our dear mammies,
they were sure some bashful sammies,
and in all their Bandana plays,
Banjos strummin'
they'd be hummin'
Bandana lays.
And in the pale moonlight
they'd swing left and right,
in those dear old Bandana Days.

In those dear old Bandana Days,
Cane and cotton
ne'er forgotten
Bandana Days.
And those quaint old Bandana ways
when our dads were courting
our dear mammies,
they were sure some bashful sammies,
and in all their Bandana plays,
Banjos strummin'
they'd be hummin'
Bandana lays.
And in the pale moonlight
they'd swing left and right,
in those dear old Bandana Days.
