| And light the lamp within the house | C |
| The whippoorwill is calling | D |
| 'Whippoorwill whippoorwill ' | E |
| Where the locust blooms are falling | D |
| On the hill | F |
| The sunset's rose is dying | D |
| And the whippoorwill is crying | D |
| 'Whippoorwill whippoorwill' | F |
| Soft now shrill | F |
| The whippoorwill is crying | D |
| 'Whippoorwill ' | E |

| Unloose the watch dog from his chain | G |
| The first stars wink their drowsy eyes | H |
| A sheep bell tinkles in the lane | G |
| And where the shadow deepest lies | H |
| A lamp makes bright the window pane | G |
| The whippoorwill is calling | D |
| 'Whippoorwill whippoorwill ' | - |
| Where the berry blooms are falling | D |
| On the rill | F |
| The first faint stars are springing | D |

| The whippoorwill is singing | D |

| The cows are milked the cattle fed | I |
| The last far streaks of evening fade | J |
| The farm hand whistles in the shed | I |
| And in the house the table's laid | J |
| Its lamp streams on the garden bed | I |
| The whippoorwill is calling | D |
| 'Whippoorwill whippoorwill ' | - |
| Where the dogwood blooms are falling | D |
| On the hill | F |
| The afterglow is waning | D |
| And the whippoorwill's complaining | D |
| 'Whippoorwill whippoorwill' | F |
| Wild and shrill | F |
| The whippoorwill's complaining | D |
| 'Whippoorwill ' | - |
| - | |
| The moon blooms out a great white rose | B |
| The stars wheel onward toward the west | K |
| The barnyard cock wakes once and crows | B |
| The farm is wrapped in peaceful rest | K |
| The cricket chirs the firefly glows | B |
| The whippoorwill is calling | D |
| 'Whippoorwill whippoorwill ' | - |
| Where the bramble blooms are falling | D |
| On the rill | F |
| The moon her watch is keeping | D |
| And the whippoorwill is weeping | D |
| 'Whippoorwill whippoorwill' | F |
| Lonely still | F |
| The whippoorwill is weeping | D |
| 'Whippoorwill ' | - |
