Under the Bamboo Tree

Down in the jungles lived a maid

Of royal blood though dusky shade

A marked impression once she made

Upon a Zulu from MataboolooAnd every morning he would be

Down underneath the bamboo tree

A waitin' there his love to see

And then to her he'd sing, to her he'd singIf you like-a me, like I like-a you

And we like-a both the same

I like-a say this very day

I like-a change your name'Cause I love-a you and love-a you true

And if you-a love-a me

One live as two, two live as one

Under the bamboo tree
