Rhonda Vincent - Song Of A Whippoorwill lyrics

I heard the whippoorwill a singin' He sang so high and lonesome So high and lonesome It brought tears to my eyes He was searchin' for his sweet love He'd fly so high above us So high above us As the stars filled the sky His cries would cross the mountain Echo through the valleys green He'd fly closer to the heavens Where his love had gone to be He sings a song about his sweet love He sings so high and lonesome So high and lonesome It brought tears to my eyes He keeps searchin' for his true love She flies so high above us So high above us In the sweet by-and-by INSTRUMENTAL His cries still cross the mountains Echo through the valleys green He flies closer to the heavens Where his love had gone to be He keeps searchin' for his true love She flies so high above us So high above us In the sweet by-and-by
