Whippoorwill

I hear the whippoorwill callin’ drivin’ me out of my mind
You must know my baby’s done left me
Can’t you hear that whippoorwill cry
Listen to the whippoorwill cry

Every day you’d fly down to greet her
Singin’ out your whippoorwill song
But she never knew how to treat you
You should be glad she’s gone
You should be glad she’s gone

I hear the whippoorwill callin’ drivin’ me out of my mind
You must know my baby’s done left me
Can’t you hear that whippoorwill cry
Listen to the whippoorwill cry

Are you thinkin’ she’ll be returnin’
To hear you cry and come back home
You crazy bird you know she don’t miss you
Better settle on being alone
Better settle on being alone

I hear the whippoorwill callin’ drivin’ me out of my mind
You must know my baby’s done left me
Can’t you hear that whippoorwill cry
Listen to the whippoorwill cry

What are you gonna do tomorrow
Cry out that same old tune
Why don’t you just fly away with her
And take her memory with you
And take her memory with you

I hear the whippoorwill callin’ drivin’ me out of my mind
You must know my baby’s done left me
Can’t you hear that whippoorwill cry
Listen to the whippoorwill cry

I hear the whippoorwill callin’ drivin’ me out of my mind
You must know my baby’s done left me
Can’t you hear that whippoorwill cry
Listen to the whippoorwill cry
