Down in the jungles lived a maid Of royal blood though dusky shade A marked impression once she made Upon a Zulu from Matabooloo And 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 sing If 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
