Lyrics:
First verse
I listen to the shouthwinds gently sighing, They speak of you ma lady Lu, To read the loving meessage I've been trying, And it tells me that ma babe is true. The shadows of the night are softly falling Ma honey Lu so fond and true. The mockingbirds, and whippoorwills are calling To their mates, as I call you.
Chorus
Come to me ma Lady Lu come, be ma own sweet babe oh! do, oh! do. You know I love you so, oh honey don't say no! I'd die for you, ma lady Lu. ‘Seems when I look in your eyes, My heart it jumps with joy and glad surprise, If I could only dare to read your answer there, Then I'd know that you's ma lady Lu.
Second verse
It just seems natural as the flowers to blossom, Ma love for you that's how it grew, And now to me you's sweeter than the possum, Don't say no, ‘twould break my heart in two. You ‘member when I met you in the springtime A little Zu now lady Lu. The orange blushes red, when kiss'd by sunshine, So you blushed when I kissed you.
(Chorus)
