Little Birdie, Little Birdie

Come, sing to me your song,

I’ve a short time to stay here,

And a long time to be gone,

I’d rather be in some dark hollow,

Where the sun don’t ever shine,

Than to see you be someone’s darlin’

And to know you’ll never be mine,

Little Birdie, Little Birdie,

What makes you fly so high,

It’s because my own true love,

Is waiting in the sky,

Little Birdie, Little Birdie,

Come sing to me your song,

I’ve a short time to stay here,

And a long time to be gone.
