Alton Delmore:
When It's Time For The Whippoorwill To Sing

1. Oh the moon and the stars is brightly shining
All around the sweetness of the spring
But I am sad and in loneliness I知 pining
For the one on earth I値l never see again

Ch. How I long for the day when I shall meet her
If it be where the angels sweetly sing
She is mine and the thought of her grows sweeter
When it痴 time for the whippoorwills to sing

2. I left with the thought I壇 be returning
To her great joy and wealth to bring
But I returned too late and now I知 pining
For the one on earth I値l never see again

3. I remember the night she made the promise
These words to me great joy did bring
I値l be true and you know you値l find me waiting
When it痴 time for the whippoorwills to sing
