Bamboo - Vaughn Monroe

Bamboo walls, bamboo ceiling

And the rain come down, seem to say

In a voice so appealing

Go away, oh don’t delay

Though there’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
