"Way out by lonely bayou. There waits a girl where the green grasses grow.
|
Waits she there with a tear in her eye dreaming of years that long have gone by.
|
|
How I yearn for the days that are gone! I'd wake in the morning to a whippoorwill song.
|
There by the fire sits my lady fair. Singing this song as the combs her long hair.
|
|
Now I'm thinkin' home I must go 'cause I've been wandrin' where the four winds blow.
|
Startin' tonight with the big April moon, she'll be by my side by the third day of June.
|

(Repeat first verse)
