Whippoorwill singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in Bowling Green
I left down in Bowling Green

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had

You whisper: Good morning
Gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you, babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there
