Johnny Horton - Shadows Of The Old Bayou lyrics

rate me

(Johnny Horton)

-Solo-

Strolling in the evening when the moon’s hanging low

Just walking talking Baby, ‘cause I miss you so

With twilight kisses this evening, too

I miss you, Baby, in the shadows of the old bayou

My thoughts keep a-haunting the memories of you

Can’t eat, sleep don’t know what I’m to do

My heart keeps a-calling, calling for you

I need you, Baby, in the shadows of the old bayou

Now when shadows fall on the bayou

And whippoorwills call through the night

The perfume of the sweet magnolia

When I’m holding you, oh so tight

I’m just a-dreaming and a-scheming, just a-plannin’, my Dear

Just thinking, wishing Darling, you were here

For my heart, it misses, it misses sweet you

I am so lonesome in the shadows of the old bayou

-Solo-

Now when shadows fall on the bayou

And whippoorwills call through the night

The perfume of the sweet magnolia

When I’m holding you, oh so tight

I’m just a-dreaming and a-scheming, just a-plannin’, my Dear

Just thinking, wishing Darling, you were here

For my heart, it misses, it misses sweet you

I am so lonesome in the shadows of the old bayou

-Solo-
