[Verse 1]
[G]Springtime is near,

You say, that you are going away
My heart will be with you my darling
And I'm [D]counting now [G]the days

[Verse 2]
[C]I know that soon I'll have to [G]travel

[C]I feel so all alone, my darling [G]said,
she'd be gone
When I heard that [D]first whippoor

[Verse 3]
The flowers are [G]blooming, little darling
With the budding of the trees
I hear the night birds a crying
I know that [D]they are warning [G]me
I [C]know that

[Verse 4]
soon I'll have to [G]travel

Just like the farmer [D]plants his [G]grain
But there will never be a harvest
On the hills the [D]whippoorwill now [G]sing

[Verse 6]
I [C]know that soon I'll have to [G]travel
I know I'm over the hill
I [C]feel so all alone, my darling [G]said,
she'd be gone
When I heard that [D]first whippoorwill
