Johnny Horton - Shadows On The Old Bayou lyrics

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
