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
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
I've got to get back to you, baby
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You whisper, Good morning
So gently in my ear
Now I'm coming to you, baby
And I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
I've got to get back to you, baby
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
