Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whippoorwill's singing
On a soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans
[Verse 2]
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're drivin' me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
[Verse 3]
You whisper, good morning
So gently in my ear
I'll come home to you, babe
And I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there
[Verse 4]
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're drivin' me mad
I've 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
[Verse 5]
Oh
