Would you whisper my name, little Darling
In the night when you're so sad and blue
Are my tears that follow a reminder
that you left me for somebody new

Chorus:
Would you ever come back into memory
Would you think of our love that used to be
As your heart comes from beneath the river
Is my picture in a tear you cried for me

Did you hear that ol' night bird cryin'
He's cryin' for someone who's gone away
(???) through the nighttime
And you'll come back to him someday

[ Chorus ]

Did you hear the sound of the freight train
The same one that you rode on out of town
Well it whistled and (???) through the nighttime
Like the blues that surely got me down

[ Chorus - x2 ]
