Mah Lindy Lou 1928

Honey, did you hear dat mockin’bird sing last night?
O Lord, he was singin’ so sweet in de moonlight!
In de ole magnolia tree,
Bustin’ his heart wid melody!

I know, he was singing ob you,
Mah Lindy Lou, Lindy Lou!
O Lord, I’d lay right back down and die,
Ef I could sing like dat bird sings to you,
Mah little Lindy Lou!

Lindy, did you smell dat honeysuckle vine las’ night? Hmm, did ya Honey?
Oh Lord, it wuz smellin’ so sweet in de moonlight!
Clinging ’round my cabin door,
Reckon it’s ’cause he loves it so!

Honey, dat’s de way I love you,
Mah Lindy Lou, Lindy Lou!
Oh Lord, I’d lay right down an’ die,
If I could be as sweet as dat to you,
Mah little Lindy Lou!

Lindy, did you feel dat south wind blow las’ night?
Honey, it wuz kissin’ you sweet in de moonlight!
Blowin’ from that old Bayou,
Seemed to say it love you so!

Honey, dat’s de way I love you,
Mah Lindy Lou, Lindy Lou!
Oh Lord, I’d lay right down an’ die,
If I could be dat wind a-kissin’ you,
Mah little Lindy Lou!
