The Whipporwill Song

by Zuberoa Aznárez

/

about

The whippoorwill song is a traditional Ozark folk song. I recorded a kind of "a capella" version, just with my voice and a soft flute acompaniment. I hope you like it!

lyrics

Hark, the whippoorwill! Hark the whippoorwill! Listen to the whippoorwill.

In the starry night so still, Listen to the whippoorwill, Forest shades repeat his song, Dreamily it floats along,

Sadness fills and thrills his lay, Singing all the summer night away, Listen to that plaintive trill, Whippoorwill, sad whippoorwill.

Hark the whippoorwill! Listen to the whippoorwill. Hark the whippoorwill! Whippoorwill, sad whippoorwill.

Softly falls the star-light glow O'er the shadowed world below, Fragrance floating through the air, Dewy freshness everywhere.

While we sing in joy and glee, May we learn, dear singing bird, from thee, May we like thee, whippoorwill, Even in grief go singing still.

Hark the whippoorwill! Hark the whippoorwill! Whippoorwill, sad whippoorwill.

Other birds are blithe and gay Singing but in morn's bright ray, While the whippoorwill's sad tone Greets us when the day has flown.


Hark, the whippoorwill! Hark the whippoorwill! Hark the whippoorwill! Whippoorwill, sad whippoorwill.
