How will I know my love? How will I know my darlin'? Whippoorwill, give me a sign. How will I know he's mine? How will I know my love When he walks through the pinewood? Mockingbird tell me for true: Help me to find him, do. Will I meet him in the autumn? Will the hills be green with spring? Will he take my hand in summer, And make me a clover ring? How will I know my love? How will I know my darlin'? Oh, Mr. Moon up above, How will I know my love? (Instrumental break) Will he take my hand in summer And make me a clover ring? How will I know my love? How will I know my darlin'? Oh, Mr. Moon up above, How will I know my love? Oh, Mr. Moon up above, How will I know my love?
