[Verse]
Why, the dearest days of my life
Were Bandana days, Bandana days
Though filled with turmoil, trouble, and strife
Dearest memories will live always
[Chorus]
In those dear old Bandana days
Cane and cotton, never forgotten, Bandana days
And those quaint old Bandana ways
When our dads were courting our dear mammies
They were sure some bashful sammies
And in all their Bandana plays
With the banjo strummin', they’d be humming Bandana lays
In the pale moon light, they'd swing left and right
Those dear old Bandana days
[Interlude]
Here's a slow but old plantation breakdown, yippee!
Everybody get your partner
All hands to the center, yes sir
Back again!
Swing your partner!
Lookout, Sister Jones, you sure is struttin’ your stuff, yippee!
Back there to the right...
Hot dog, look at Deacon Jones, done lost all his men
Back there to the left
Get out and play, old boy, you wrote it, ha ha
Swing your partner!
Look out there, Brother Abraham, don't squeeze that sister so tight
Uh huh, there, now I thought so, there goes the light, hmm, hmm
Can you beat that? Now who put out that light
Well, sir, everybody for themselves, 'cause I'm gone, yippee!
Yessir, long gone
Thataboy, you can't beat 'em, I tell you
[Chorus]
Oh, dear old, dear old Bandana days
Cane and cotton, never forgotten, Bandana Days
And those quaint old Bandana ways
When our dads were courting our dear mammies
They were sure some bashful sammies
And in all them Bandana plays
With the banjo strummin', they'd be humming, Bandana lays
In the pale moon light, they’d swing left and right
In those dear old Bandana days
