The Owl and I - Hank Snow

A boy and girl were kissing beneath a linden tree

A lonely owl was watching a little jealously

It seemed that he was saying I want my sweetheart too

But she’s flown off with someone I often wonder who

Whoo-whoo-whoo (whoo-whoo-who-who)

The summer moon grew brighter the owl looked down at me

He saw that I was lonely alone the same as he

He thought of his beloved and as I thought of you

He asked the same old question that I am asking you

Break (guitar)

The owl and I were blinking and fighting back the tears

We sat all night together like friends of many years

We both are hoping someday to find somebody new

Someone who’ll make us happy another love but who

Whoo-whoo-whoo (whoo-whoo-whoo)

Whoo-whoo-whoo-who (whoo-whoo-who-who)
