Lindy Lou - Paul Robeson

Lindy, did you hear that mockingbird sing last night?

Honey, he was singin' so sweet in the moonlight

In the old magnolia tree

Bustin' his heart with melody

I know he was singin' of you

Mah Lindy Lou

Lindy Lou

I’d lay right down and die and die

If I could sing like that bird sings to you

Mah little Lindy Lou

Lindy, did you smell that honeysuckle

Honey, he was smellin' so sweet in the moonlight

Clingin' round my cabin door

Reckon it’s 'cause he loves you so

Honey, that’s the way I love you

Mah Lindy Lou

Lindy Lou

I’d lay right down and die and die

If I could be as sweet as that to you

Mah little Lindy Lou

Lindy, did you feel that south wind blow last night?

Honey, he was kissin' you sweet in the moonlight

Blowin' round the old bayou

Seems to say it loves you so

Honey, that’s the way I love you

Mah Lindy Lou

Lindy Lou

I’d lay right down and die and die

If I could be that wind a-kissin' you

Mah little Lindy Lou
