(A tree of birds)
|
In a desert town the desert sunbeam down on a small boy laying sick in bed
|
It burned his fevered brow so much she witched somehow
|
But the sun was the shade tree instead
|
I chanced the whippoorwill which throne is windowsill
|
And overheard the boy's fevered plea
|
He whippoorwilled a cry to feathered friends near by
|
And an old time at all they made a tree
|
A tree of birds a bird tree soon the tree started singing merryly
|
Chirup chirup twee twee get on your feet sweetly sang a tree of bird
|
|
When the little boy heard that lovely song he looked all around and to his surprise
|
There was a wonderous tree a whinning singing tree
|
A tree of birds flying right before his weary eyes
|
With their little wings they kept cooling things
|
Till his fever broke and ill may flow away
|
The boy has tried to tell how birds made him well but no one believes him to this say
|
A tree of birds...
|
(A tree of bird) a tree of bird
