Mah Lindy Lou

Lindy, did you hear that mocking bird sing last night?
Honey, he was singing so sweet in the moonlight
In the old magnolia tree
Busting his heart with melody
I know he was singing of you
My Lindy Lu, Lindy Lu
I'd lay right down and die, and die
If I could sing like that bird sings to you
My little Lindy Lu

Lindy, did you smell that honeysuckle vine last night?
Honey, he was smelling so sweet in the moonlight
Clinging round my cabin door
Reckon it's 'cause he loves you so
Honey, that's the way I love you
My Lindy Lu, Lindy Lu
I'd lay right down and die, and die
If I could be as sweet as that to you
My little Lindy Lu

Lindy, did you feel that soft wind blow last night?
Honey, he was kissing you sweet in the moonlight
Blowing from the old bayou
Seemed to say it loved you so
Honey, that's the way I love you
My Lindy Lu, Lindy Lu
I'd lay right down and die, and die
If I could be that willow kissing you
My little Lindy Lu
