Subject: WHEN IT S TIME FOR THE WHIPPOORWILL TO SING
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.
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
