AmVerse 1
Am Wind is warm as mother's milk, steady as a siren Though my whiskers smell of soap, my pistol smells of iron Dm This front porch is higher than, the rest of this poor town Am G Am I piss every day away, watch the sun go down Am If I was a gamblin' man, the way I used to be Those downtown gals would gather 'round, Just to watch the likes of me Dm And those lazy bones would tumble, Those lazy bones would roll Am G Am I'd pick out my downtown gal, give her all my gold
Chorus
G Am G Am Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a foolish things Am G Am All I know is that, if I had wings, I'd be gone by now
Verse 2
Am Once a year this old hotel fills up at harvest time Mexicans and Gypsy kids, mostly friends a mine Dm They all come in at sundown, fill my whiskey glass Am G Am They sit and sing a song with me, let the evenin' pass Am For in the old days I worked with them, I worked till the work was done The crew we had back in those days, we where always number one Dm Northward with the seasons, Southward in the fall Am G Am Till I got hurt in the oil patch, Boys I had it all
Chorus
G Am G Am Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a crazy things Am G Am All I know is that, if I had wings, I'd be gone by now
Solo

Verse 3
Am This year we had no rain at all, not a single crop came in Nothin' moves on Main Street now but an Oklahoma wind Dm And I am just a shadow, of the man I used to be Am G Am And I wish I had someone to sing 'The Long Black Veil' with me
Chorus
G Am G Am Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a foolish things Am G Am All I know is that, if I had wings, I'd be gone by now
Chorus
G Am G Am Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a foolish things Am G Am All I know is that, if I had wings, I'd be gone by now
