The Whippoorwill

Going through life the righteous way

The only way so the preacher would say

You put me on the Jericho road

Barefoot and smiling standing there by the piano

Well I dream that I heard that whippoorwill sing

Yeah she sang my song and called me by name

Well I hung my head in shame Oh yeah

You sewed my years together like a patchwork quilt

Your bougainvillea's bloomed it'll never wilt

Lessons I remember and some that I forgot

Are precious and pure like one honeysuckle drop

Well I dream that I heard that whippoorwill sing

Yeah she sang my song and called me by name

Well I hung my head in shame Oh yeah

I'm gonna sing that song with the Whippoorwill

In a sweet high harmony

Though I know just what went with her

She's always here with me

Always here with me

Chorus x2

Well I dream that I heard that whippoorwill sing

Yeah she sang my song and called me by name

Well I dream that I heard that whippoorwill sing

Yeah she sang my song and called me by name

Starting all over again

Yes I'm starting all over again
