Whippoorwill 1911

I heard the birdies
they were calling for me,
These birds thro' life my friend,
I thought they would be.
They flew 'round me and my gal
Each one said: "Kids, I'm your pal."
Oh!
I took a birdie home
to share him my need.
Two birds were seen a flying
'way two a breast;
He took gal and money
they left me clean,
I looked around
no birds to be seen,
Oh!
Meadow lark!
Whippoorwill
Never again for me!
Never again for me!

I hear a birdie singing
in yonder tree,
It is a chirp
that sounds familiar to me.
Tries to tell me where she's been.
One look shows me, she's all in!
Oh!
You needn't come and chirp
that old tale to me,
You are divorced now
here's your final decree;
My nest is full
go get your old mate,
Just breeze along
aviate, Oh!
Meadow lark!
Whippoorwill
Never again for me!
Never again for me!
