Whippoorwill's singing, on a soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby, I left down in New Orleans,
I left down in New Orleans
Magnolia you sweet thing, you're drivin' me mad

Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You whisper, Good Morning, so gently in my ear

I'll come to you babe
And I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there
Magnolia you sweet thing, you're drivin' me mad

Got to get back to you, babe

You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
