Springtime is hear my darlin'

You said that you are goin' away

My heart will be with you my darli'

Then I'm countin' now the days



I know that soon I'll have to travel

I know I'm over the hill

I feel so all alone my darlin' since you've been gone

And I heard the first whippoorwill



The flowers are bloomin' little darlin'

With the buddin' of the trees

I hear them night birds a-cryin'

I know that they are warnin' me



Our love was planted little darlin'

Just like the farmer plants his grain

But there will never be a harvest

On the hill a whipoorwill
