I would love to have the complete lyrics and a viodeo would be great! |

No joy finding the lyrics yet, tt. You may have to resort to transcribing them. |

It was written by Harrison Millard and published in 1865. Lyrics and links to sheet music have been posted in another thread: Lyr Req: Whip-Poor-Will's Song (Harrison Millard). It is a very common thing that compound words that we now spell without hyphens were once spelled with hyphens. This is a good thing to keep in mind when searching for old music. |
