Little Birdie [core]
Little birdie, little birdie
Come and sing me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone
Rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than for you to be another man's darling
And to know that you'd never be mine
Little birdie, little birdie
What makes you fly so high
When you know that my true lover
Is a-waiting in the sky
I'm a long way from old Dixie
And my old Kentucky home
Got no father or mother
No place to call my home
Little birdie, little birdie
What makes your head so red
Well, after all 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 like the little birdie's
You're flying all around
Little birdie, little birdie
Won't you sing to me your song
You've caused me lots of trouble
You've caused me to do wrong
