about

Long distance yodeling romance

lyrics

Why, the crickets are calling me on this full moonlit Canadian night,
and I’m far away from home and on the roam…and I’m singing a song.

Why, the crickets are calling me on this full moonlit Canadian night

And there’s a whisper in the willows and she’s calling me, there’s a whisper in the willows and she’s calling me.

Left my baby on a flat front step, left her reeling and rocking cause we ain’t dead yet. Left her heart in a whirl, assuring the little girl that, “I won’t forget…but honey baby, sweetie pie…

I gotta live, gotta go, gotta get free of my woes, and I count my little toes and I know that I know that I know that I know that I know, that we ain’t dead yet”.

Why, the crickets are calling me on this full moonlit Canadian night. And your memory’s following me on this moonlit Canadian night.
