This Morning

I was wondering could you tell me a couple of things If you’re not too busy this morning I was wondering could you tell me why the whippoorwill sings ‘fore the sun breaks the sky in the morning Could you tell me why you left me so long ago Why you left me that day without warning If you answer correctly I just might let you go If not then I guess they’ll be mourning Where’s that handsome young man to whom you gave your sweet hand Your young knight in his shiny bright armor He was a dandy young puff but when the going got rough He did not last more than one short half hour He said take her and spare him And I thought how dare him I gutted him like a dead chicken You fell for that fraud ‘cause your judgement is flawed Guess you always knew how to pick 'em Don’t look so shocked at the one who you mocked It’s not so long ago you’ve forgotten You can rest now ensured that my love will endure Long after your carcass is rotten I was wondering if you could tell me a couple of things I don’t think you’re too busy this morning
