Whippoorwill's singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my babe
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving 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'm coming home to you babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving 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
