There's a lonesome Whippoorwill
Singing to the moon
The saddest cry you've ever heard
Still, he sings his tune
Something's lost, he loved so much
There's a sense of hope
You can hear it in his song
It comes out with every note
I believe he's lost his love
It surely broke his heart
If a song can bring her back
He'll sing it to the stars
There is nothing like true love
It's not often found
And nothing like a Whippoorwill
When he makes a lonesome sound
There's a lonesome Whippoorwill
Singing to the moon
The saddest cry you've ever heard
Still, he sings his tune
