Abstract

1. There's a tiny bit of seashore

Where the trees of Bamboo sway

Where the sea is always moonlit

And they call it Bamboo Bay

There's a thousand dreams about it

That are ever on my mind

There I said farewell

And sad to tell I left my heart behind

CHORUS: Drifting down on Bamboo Bay

With my love at close of day

Night birds in the skies above

Cried while I sighed "I love you"

When the dawn kiss'd Bamboo Bay

What else was there but Au revoir to say

I never knew I'd lost my heart

Until the night we had to part

On the shores of Bamboo Bay

2. And I love the most to picture

Where the trees of Bamboo sway

When the big blue moon is rising

O'er the shores of Bamboo Bay

There I see a Hindu maiden

One whose heart will ever yearn

There I said farewell

And sad to tell I promised to return
