There's a kind of light shining down through the trees
There's a bright moon light shining down through the trees
And I know my baby's coming down to be with me
She got a basket on her arm, my love is high
She got a basket on her arm, my love is high
Now when she opens up the basket things are gonna be alright
I hear my baby calling
My, my, my, my, my, my baby goodnight
Well, well
My, my, my, my, my, my baby goodnight
Yeah, yeah
Oh, baby goodnight
I hear that bird a calling, singing like a whippoorwill
Well, well well I hear that bird a calling, singing like a whippoorwill
And when I hear that bird a calling, it gives my baby such a thrill
And I think I called my baby
My, my, my, my, my, my baby goodnight
Well, well, well
My, my, my, my, my, my baby goodnight
Oooooooh
Oh baby goodnight
And I don't believe you heard me
My, my, talking about, talking about baby my light
My, my, my, my, talking about baby my light
Oh, baby goodnight
