Subject: Lyr Add: WHIPPOORWILL SONG
...jm...I got this whippoorwill song in Mt. View, Arkansas...
Whippoorwill Song Oh the stars on the silver moon are shining All around is the sweetness of the spring But I'm sad and in loneliness I'm pining For the one I shall never see again How I long for the day when I shall meet her Though it be where the angels sweetly sing She is mine and the thought of her grows sweeter When it's time for the whippoorwill to sing I remember the night she made the promise And these words said to me great joy did bring I'll be true and you know you'll find me courting When it's time for the whippoorwill to sing How I long for the day when I shall meet her Though it be where the angels sweetly sing She is mine and the thought of her grows sweeter When it's time for the whippoorwill to sing ...wish I had some more whippoorwill songs...anyone want to share one?...harpgirl
