Little Birdie Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a birdie little birdie
Come and sing me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone
I'm a long way from old baby seed
In my old Kentucky home
Although both my parents are dead and gone
And a place to call my home

[Chorus]
There's a birdie little birdie
Come and sing me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone

[Verse 2]
Now I'll rather be a sailor
Way out upon the sea
When been home a married man
With a baby on my knee
For a married man this is trouble
And the single voice is done
I expected little sea golf Though my days on earth are done

[Chorus]
There's a birdie little birdie
Come and sing me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone

[Bridge]
I'll rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
And to say you love another
When you promise to be mine

[Chorus]
There's a birdie little birdie
Come and sing me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone
There's a birdie little birdie
Come and sing me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone
