Oh little red bird
|
Come to my window sill
|
Been so lonesome
|
Shaking that morning chill
|
Oh little red bird
|
Open your mouth and sing
|
Been so lonesome
|
Just about flown away
|
|
So long now I've been out
|
In the rain and snow
|
But winter's come and gone
|
A little bird told me so
|
|
Oh little blue bird
|
Pearly feather breast
|
Five cold nickels all I got left
|
Oh little blue bird
|
What am I gonna do
|
Five cold nickels
|
Ain't gonna see me through
|
|
So long now I've been out
|
In the rain and snow
|
But winter's come and gone
|
A little bird told me so
|
|
Oh little black bird
|
On my wire line
|
Dark as trouble
|
In this heart of mine
|
Poor little black bird
|
Sings a worried song
|
Dark as trouble
|
'Til winter's come and gone
|
|
So long now I've been out
|
In the rain and snow
|
But winter's come and gone
|
A little bird told me so
|
|
So long now I've been out
|
In the rain and snow
|
But winter's come and gone
|
A little bird told me so
|
