Lyrics:
First verse
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. 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.
Second verse
When the cotton fields are bathed in soft moon light Loving time, Neath the ivy vine we spoon each Summer night joy sublime; Preacher's g'wine to tie the know next Sunday morn, Glad we'll be, Life will always be one grand, sweet honeymoon, For Mandy and me.
(Chorus)
