Chris Smither - Magnolia Lyrics

Chris Smither Lyrics

"Magnolia"
(originally by J.J. Cale)

Whippoorwills singing
The soft summer breeze
Make me think of my baby
I left in New Orleans
Left down in New Orleans

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
I got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had

You whisper, "Good morning"
So gently in my ear
I'll come home to you, babe
I soon will be near
Soon

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
I got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
