‘Magnolia’ by J.J.Cale (Song, YouTube Visuals)

Lyrics:

“*Whip-poor-will’s singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You’re driving me mad
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’m coming home to you, babe
I’ll soon be there
I’ll soon be there

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You’re driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You’re the best I ever had
You’re the best I ever had”

*The Whip-poor-will is a North American bird of the Nightjar family.

Quoting from audobon.org:

“Often heard but seldom observed, the Whip-poor-will chants its name on summer nights in eastern woods. The song may seem to go on endlessly; a patient observer once counted 1,088 whip-poor-wills given rapidly without a break. By day, the bird sleeps on the forest floor, or on a horizontal log or branch. This bird and the Mexican Whip-poor-will of the southwest were considered to belong to the same species until recently.”
