Nothing But A Whippoorwill |
Well I m running down this road |
A hundred miles from home |
We quarreled like true lovers often will |
And I still recall the shame |
Thought I heard her call my name |
But it was nothing nothing but a whippoorwill |
Dark clouds, lightning in the air |
The rain was softly falling as I brushed away her hair |
She said we had to part, even though she held my heart |
And to this day, I know she always will |
It was such a dreadful sight, but she s peaceful there tonight |
Lying in the ground so cold and still |
I couldn t let her walk away |
From everything she promised on our wedding day |
Now I m running every day, but I ll never get away |
From the rhythm of her voice, it haunts me still |
As I turned my gun around |
Thought I heard that mournful sound |
But it was nothing nothing but a whippoorwill |
Dark clouds, lightning in the air |
The rain was softly falling as I brushed away her hair |
