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
