"Little Birdy"

       
Little birdy, 

little birdy
             
Won't you sing

             
 to me your so

ng
      
Got a short ti

me to stay her

e
             
And a long tim

        
e to be gone


           
I'd rather be 

in some dark h

ollow
             
Where the sun 

           
don't ever shi

ne
         
Than for you t

o be another m

an's darling
             
And to know th

              
at you'd never

    
 be mine


        
Little birdy, 

little birdy
             
What makes you

        
 fly so high
         
When you know 

that my true l

over
             
Is a-waiting i

      
n the sky


             
I'm a long way

          
 from old Dixi

e
             
And my old Ken

      
tucky home
       
Got no father 

or mother
             
No place to ca

      
ll my home

       
Little birdy, 

little birdy
             
What makes you

            
r head so red
       
Well, after al

l that I been 

through
             
It's a wonder 

        
I ain't dead


        
Married woman,

 married woman
             
Why don't you 

       
settle down
             
Your heart's l

ike the little

 birdy's
             
You're flying 

       
all a-round


       
Little birdy, 

little birdy
             
Won't you sing

            
 to me your so

ng
        
You've caused 

me lots of tro

uble
