Cry Of The Whippoorwill Lyrics

Banjo Intro:
4 4 1 1
5 5 1 1 1 1Chorus:
4 4 1 1
4 4 1 1
1 1 1 1
5 5 1 1Now listen close and you can hear
Their mournful cries ring through the darkness
Lovers lost and all alone
Spirits two forever roamVerse 1:
1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1
5 5 1 1Like a nightbird's wail when the wind is still
The sound of river and a whippoorwill
Like the driving rain on a roof of tin
Her words of love call out to himFiddle Break:
5 5 1 1 1 1Verse 2:

In the chill of the night through falling snow
Two hearts run wild nowhere to go
Crossing hills and valleys wide
To meet once more on the other sideChorus:Guitar/Banjo Break:
1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1
4 4 1 1
5 5 1 1 1 1Verse 3:
It's a bitter Wind that sings her song
About a love so right and yet so wrong
And promised hearts where passions dwell
No one can see no one can tellVerse 4:
Souls lost in time they were never found
Frozen in (?solid?) on the cold hard ground
Forever wild forever free
Wrapped in the arms of eternityChorus:Mando/Fiddle Break:
1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1
4 4 1 1
5 5 1 1Chorus:Vocal Ending:
4 4 1 1
5 5 1 1Lovers lost and all alone
Spirits two forever roam
