“'Way in de Woods, an' Nobody Dar.”
De ole owl libs in a lonely place—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar;
Eyes lak sunflowers in his face—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar;
Sets an' broods alone, alone,
Set an' sigh an' moan an' moan,
When de silvah moon goes down—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar.
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar;
Eyes lak sunflowers in his face—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar;
Sets an' broods alone, alone,
Set an' sigh an' moan an' moan,
When de silvah moon goes down—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar.
Oh, heah de lonely whippo'will,—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar,—
Complainin' when de night am still—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar.
Dar de wanderin' night winds stray,
Dar de groanin' branches sway,
Ghosts an' witches lose dey way—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar.
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar,—
Complainin' when de night am still—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar.
Dar de wanderin' night winds stray,
Dar de groanin' branches sway,
Ghosts an' witches lose dey way—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar.
'Way down in mah Southe'n home,—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar,—
Dar 's de place I longs to roam—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar.
Oh, mah lub wid eyes ob coal,
Listen tel mah story 's tole;
Owl 's a-hootin' in mah soul—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar.
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar,—
Dar 's de place I longs to roam—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar.
Oh, mah lub wid eyes ob coal,
Listen tel mah story 's tole;
Owl 's a-hootin' in mah soul—
'Way in de woods, an' nobody dar.
