Vaughn Monroe – Bamboo lyrics

BAMBOO WALLS, BAMBOO CEILING,
AND THE RAIN COME DOWN, SEEM TO SAY
IN A VOICE SO APPEALING,
GO AWAY, OH DON'T DELAY.

THOUGH THER'S BAMBOO ALL AROUND ME,
I VOW, I'LL FIND A WAY.
BUT BAMBOO HAS TIED AND BOUND ME,
AND I KNOW I'M HERE TO STAY.

WHY DO THE TOM-TOMS ALL BEAT
SO LOUDLY,
WHY DO THE SHADOWS ALL SEEM TO
CROWD ME?

CAN'T STOP THIS POUNDING, POUNDING,
POUNDING, IN MY HEAD
THROUGH THE NIGHT I TOSS, ON MY
BAMBOO BED.

BAMBOO WALLS, BAMBOO CEILING,
HOLD ME, THOUGH LOVE IS GONE.
IN MY HEART, THERE IS NO FEELING
BUT SOMEHOW, I CARRY ON.

BAMBOO WALLS, BAMBOO CEILING
BAMBOO BEAM, WITHIN MY HEART.
