Mah Lindy Lou

Mah Lindy Lou - Paul Robeson

Lindy did you hear that mockingbird sing last night

Honey he was singing so sweet in the moonlight

In the old magnolia tree bustin' his heart with melody

I know he was singing of you Mah Lindy Lou Lindy Lou

I'd lay right down and die and die

If I could sing like that bird sings to you

Mah little Lindy Lou

Lindy did you smell that honeysuckle vine last night

Honey he was smelling so sweet in the moonlight

Clinging 'round my cabin door reckon it's 'cause he loves you so

Honey that's the way I love you Mah Lindy Lou Lindy Lou

I'd lay right down and die and die

If I could be as sweet as that to you

Mah little Lindy Lou

Lindy did you feel that south wind blow last night

Honey he was kissing you sweet in the moonlight

Blowing from the old bayou seems to say it loves you so

Honey that's the way I love you Mah Lindy Lou Lindy Lou

I'd lay right down and die and die

If I could be that wind a-kissin' you

Mah little Lindy Lou
