David Houston - Whippoorwill Lyrics

The night wind is sighin' the night bird is cryin' whippoorwill whippoorwill

He calls in the gloamin' to his mate that's roamin' whippoorwill whippoorwill

I sigh with the night wind oh come back my love

I cry with the night bird like some mournful dove

You say just forget me but that bird won't let me whippoorwill whippoorwill

[ ac.guitar ]

The wind bends the willows all wept with the rain

Your love plays on my heart string that sad sad refrain

You say just forget me but that bird won't let me whippoorwill whippoorwill whippoorwill
