"Little Birdy"
       D
Little birdy, little birdy

          A               D 
Won't you sing to me your song

      D
Got a short time to stay here

      A               D
And a long time to be gone

           D
I'd rather be in some dark hollow

          A              D
Where the sun don't ever shine

         D
Than for you to be another man's darling

       A                        D
And to know that you'd never be mine

       D 
Little birdy, little birdy

           A          D
What makes you fly so high

         D
When you know that my true lover

     A              D
Is a-waiting in the sky

      D                 
I'm a long way from old Dixie

       A            D
And my old Kentucky home

       D
Got no father or mother

   A                D
No place to call my home

       D
Little birdy, little birdy

           A            D  
What makes your head so red

      D 
Well, after all that I been through

       A              D
It's a wonder I ain't dead

        D
Married woman, married woman

          A          D
Why don't you settle down

             D
Your heart's like the little birdy's

       A            D 
You're flying all a-round

       D
Little birdy, little birdy

          A               D
Won't you sing to me your song

       D 
You've caused me lots of trouble

       A               D
You've caused me to do wrong
