POOR WHIP-POOR-WILL (MOVE OVER, MOVE OVER)
(Jimmy Kennedy / Nat Simon)


Rosemary Clooney - 1952
The Bell Sisters - 1952




Under the moonlight
Out on the hill
I hear the call
Of a lone whip-poor-will 


He's got no love bird
To sit on his knee
And I got no darlin'
So lonesome are we 


Poor Whip-Poor-Will
We're both up a tree
Move over! Move over!
And make room for me 


Poor Whip-Poor-Will
How blue can we be?
Move over! Move over!
And make room for me 


I had a sweetheart
Sweet as could be
Last night he said
He'd go walkin' with me 


True, he went walkin'
But with someone new
And that's why I'm lonesome
And feelin' like you
