lyrics
Little Birdie
Little birdie, little birdie
Come and sing me your song
I've a short time, to stay here
And a long time to be gone
Little birdie, little birdie
What makes you fly so high?
For you know that, true love
Is singing off in the sky?
Little birdie, little birdie
Can't you see I'm down
For I can’t find, me another
I'm heavy on the ground
This ol' world, treasuring things
Done hark the bird song
And there's no'ne, to awaken
The heart to know it's wrong
Little birdie, little birdie
Carry me away on your wing
Up beyond, the grey clouds
Up where true love sings
Little birdie, little birdie
Bring me back alive
So I can sing, for this quiet land
To keep its heart from dying
Little birdie, little birdie
Come and sing me your song
I've a short time, to stay here
And a long time to be gone
(adopted from traditional version)
