Shadows on the Old Bayou

Shadows on the Old Bayou - Johnny Horton

Strolling in the evening when the moon's hanging low

Just walking talking baby' cause I miss you so

With twilight kisses this evening too

I miss you baby in the shadows of the old bayou

My thoughts keep a haunting the memories of you

Can't eat sleep don't know what I'm to do

My heart keeps a calling calling for you

I need you baby in the shadows of the old bayou

Now when shadows fall on the bayou

And whippoorwills call through the night

The perfume of the sweet magnolia

When I'm holding you oh so tight

I'm just a dreaming and a scheming

Just a planning my dear

Just thinking wishing darling you were here

For my heart it misses it misses sweet you

I am so lonesome in the shadows of the old bayou

Now when shadows fall on the bayou

And whippoorwills call through the night

The perfume of the sweet magnolia

When I'm holding you oh so tight

I'm just a dreaming and a scheming

Just a planning my dear

Just thinking wishing darling you were here

For my heart it misses it misses sweet you

I am so lonesome in the shadows of the old bayou
