Lyrics
Whippoorwill's Song words and music by Rayne Davis Listen Lend an ear Listen now Do you hear That sad WHIPPOORWILL'S SONG Telling us all something's wrong (CHORUS) Since his lover left About all he's done is sit and cry His feathers soaked and wet To the bone you bet He can't fly Sittin' in the wind like that a body could catch the death and die Look now Do you see Out on the branch Of a weeping willow tree I guess if I'd run his race There's no place I'd rather be (CHORUS) Since his lover left About all he's done is sit and cry His feathers soaked and wet Down to the bone you bet He can't fly, he can't fly Sittin' in the wind like that a body could catch the death and die But I don't think it's dying that's got this old whippoorwill so scared It's that I'm out here all alone And that I gave my heart and soul To someone who never even cared
