When the whippoorwills called on the hills far away
We're gonna sing a little song we're gonna hear them say
My love for you will never ever die
We bid everything sail away to the sweet by and by.
[Instrumental]
Those two brown eyes that sparkle with love
Came down to me from heaven above
Guess if I had the wings of a beautiful dove
Don't you know I'd fly away to the woman I love.
There's a ramshackle shack in old Caroline
It's callin' me back to the woman of mine
Guess if I had the wings of a beautiful dove
Don't you know I'd fly away to the woman I love.
When the whippoorwills called on the hills far away
We're gonna sing a little song we're gonna hear them say
My love for you will never ever die
We bid everything sail away to the sweet by and by...
