Lindy 1920

Big pale moon
was shining down on Tennessee,
birds in tune
sang love's sweet melody,
Lovesick coon
was sighing tenderly
and pretty soon,
I listened to this plea.

Lindy, Lindy,
how much longer must I wait,
The Good Book says that man
must take unto himself a mate;
you'll need somebody who
will cuddle up close to you,
Next winter, Lindy,
when the weather is windy
you know that birds and bees
and chickens raise a family,
and what was meant for them
was meant for Lindy
and for me.

Lindy, Lindy,
how much longer must I wait,
The Good Book says that man
must take unto himself a mate;
you'll need somebody who
will cuddle up close to you,
Next winter, Lindy,
when the weather is windy
you know that birds and bees
and chickens raise a family,
and what was meant for them
was meant for Lindy
and for me.

Big pale moon,
still shining down on Tennessee,
birds in tune
hum that same melody,
Honeymoon,
will come eventually,
and that same coon,
is urging hopefully.

Lindy, Lindy,
how much longer must I wait,
The Good Book says that man
must take unto himself a mate;
you'll need somebody who
will cuddle up close to you,
Next winter, Lindy,
when the weather is windy
you know that birds and bees
and chickens raise a family,
and what was meant for them
was meant for Lindy
and for me.

Lindy, Lindy,
how much longer must I wait,
The Good Book says that man
must take unto himself a mate;
you'll need somebody who
will cuddle up close to you,
Next winter, Lindy,
when the weather is windy
you know that birds and bees
and chickens raise a family,
and what was meant for them
was meant for Lindy
and for me.
