When its time for the whippoorwill to sing
In the sky the silvery moon was shining All around was sweetness of the spring Now she's gone but thoughts of her grow sweeter When it's time for the whippoorwill to sing How I long for the day when I shall meet her If it be where the angels sweetly sing She is mine and thoughts of her grow sweeter When it's time for the whippoorwill to sing I remember the night she made the promise Oh, to me sweet joy these words did bring Fare thee well and I know you'll find me waiting When it's time for the whippoorwill to sing * Refrain
