Shadow On the Old Bayou - Johnny Horton

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-planning, 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

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-planning, 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
