Time For The Whipporwill

WHEN IT'S TIME FOR THE WHIPPOORWILL TO SING

Recorded by Ramona and Grandpa Jones

Oh, the [G] stars and the [C] Silvery Moon is [G] shinin'

All around as the sweet-[G7] ness of the [D] Spring

But I'm [G] sad and in [C] loneliness I'm [G] pinin'

For the [G7] one I know I'll [D] never see a-[G] gain.

How I [C] long for the day when I shall [G] meet her

If it be where the An-[G7] gels sweetly [D] sing

She is [G] mine and the [C] thought of her grows [G] sweeter

When it's [G7] time for the [D] Whippoorwill to [G] sing.

Then I left with the thought I'd be returning

Soon to her with the wealth of joy I'd bring

I returned but too late and now I'm pinin'

She has gone and in loneliness I'll sing.

I remember the night she made the promise

And those words said to me great joy did bring

I'll be true and you know you'll find me waiting

When it's time for the Whippoorwill to sing.
