Summah night an' sighin' breeze 'Long de lovah's lane; Frien'ly, shadder-mekin' trees 'Long de lovah's lane White folks' wo'k all done up gran' -- Me an' 'Mandy han'-in-han' Struttin' lak we owned de lan' 'Long de lovah's lane Owl a-settin' 'side de road 'Long de lovah's lane Lookin' at us lak he knowed Dis uz lovah's lane Go on, hoot yo' mou'nful tune You ain' nevah loved in June An' come hidin' f'om de moon Down in lovah's lane Bush it ben' an' nod an' sway Down in lovah's lane Try'n' to hyeah me whut I say 'Long de lovah's lane But I whispahs low lak dis An' my 'Mandy smile huh bliss -- Mistah Bush he shek his fis' Down in lovah's lane Whut I keer ef day is long Down in lovah's lane I kin allus sing a song 'Long de lovah's lane An' de wo'ds I hyeah an' say Meks up fu' de weary day Wen I's strollin' by de way Down in lovah's lane An' dis t'ought will allus rise Down in lovah's lane; Wondah whethah in de skies Dey 's a lovah's lane Ef dey ain't, I tell you true 'Ligion do look mighty blue 'Cause I do' know whut I 'd do 'Dout a lovah's lane
