Jimmie Rodgers - The Mating Call Lyrics

The red breasted robin is calling his mate
The bluebird and ? too
Every sweet song is the mating call
Everything young is a mating call
Hear my heart calling to you
Hear my heart calling to you

The deer in the forest is calling the doe
The red fox is calling the white
All through the air goes the mating call
Yes everywhere there's a mating call
Saying come love me tonight, tonight
Saying come love me tonight

All nature is playing
This one melody
And nature is stronger
Than you dear or me

My arms long for your arms
As yours long for me
Why should we deny this is true
Birdsup above in the treetops all
Fly to their loves with a mating call
Why won't you fly to me too
Why won't you fly to me too
