Little Birdie

Little Birdie - Kossoy Sisters/Erik Darling

Little birdie little birdie

Come and sing me your song

I've a short time to be here with you

And a long time to be gone

Little birdie little birdie

What makes you act so queer

You have got no cause to worry

Ain't got no clothes to wear

Little birdie Little birdie

Come and sing me your song

I've a short time to be here with you

And a long time to be gone

Oh I'd rather be sailor

And sail out upon the sea

Than to be a poor married man

With a baby on my knee

For a married man sees trouble

While a single boy sees none

Oh I'd rather be a single boy

And to live all alone

Little birdie little birdie

Come and sing me your song

I've a short time to be here with you

And a long time to be gone

I'd rather be in some dark hollow

Where the sun would never shine

Than for you to be another man's darling

When you promised to be mine

Little birdie little birdie

Come and sing me your song

I've a short time to be here with you

And a long time to be gone
