Whippoorwill's singing

Soft summer breeze

Makes me think of my baby

I left down in New Orleans

I left down in New Orleans

Magnolia, you sweet thing

You're driving me mad

Got to get back to you, babe

You're the best I ever had

You're the best I ever had

You whisper, "Good morning"

So gently in my ear

I'm coming home to you, babe

I'll soon be there

I'll soon be there

Magnolia, you sweet thing

You're driving me mad

Got to get back to you, babe

You're the best I ever had

You're the best I ever had

You're the best I ever had

You're the best I ever had
