Shadows Of The Old Bayou de 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 dew
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
