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
