[Verse 1]
We were walking down Whippoorwill Lane
All the stars were so bright I held you so tight
We were happy down Whippoorwill Lane

[Verse 2]
Now I'm walking down Whippoorwill Lane
But the starlight is gone I walk all alone
It’s so lonesome down Whippoorwill Lane

[Chorus]
A Whippoorwill is singing in a tall tree
Must be calling for his mate I know
High on a hill an echo
Sends back the song so low and so

[Verse 3]
I go walking down Whippoorwill Lane
That old moon's hanging low I'm missing you so
It's so lonesome down Whippoorwill Lane

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
A Whippoorwill is singing in a tall tree
Must be calling for his mate I know
High on a hill an echo
Sends back the song so low and so
[Verse 3]
I go walking down Whippoorwill Lane
That old moon's hanging low I'm missing you so
It's so lonesome down Whippoorwill Lane
