Whippoorwill Lyrics - David Houston

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
