The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Whippoorwill lyrics

(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO) Fast asleep in the garden The rain is gone away Somewhere in the margin Are sheep that's gone astray Like the old man of the ocean Whose eyes tells where he's been Or one who lacks devotion Betrays his love again The thief will surely die When he's taken all he can steal Oh whippoorwill Are you high upon your hill While my feet are on the ground Oh whippoorwill You make my heart stand still When I hear your evening sound (PIANO & STRINGS) I know you're sad, much deeper Then my human ears can hear You never had a keeper Cause you live where no man's near You call from out the timber Like a chanter on a throne Only to remember The secret still unknown And makes us to decide Are we false or are we real Oh whippoorwill Are you high upon your hill While my feet are on the ground Oh whippoorwill You make my heart stand still When I hear your evening sound When I hear your evening sound When I hear your evening sound Lyrics are copyright 1975, 1976 Randle Chowning
