"Little Birdy"
D                    A
Little birdy, little birdy

               G       D
Won't you sing me your song

                     A
Got a short time to stay here

            G         D
And a long time to be gone

D                           A
I'd rather be in some dark hollow

              G              D
Where the sun don't ever shine

                                  A
Than for you to be another man's darling

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

D                    A
Little birdy, little birdy

               G      D
What makes you fly so high

                            A
When you know that my true lover

             G      D
Is a-waiting in the sky

D                        A
I'm a long way from old Dixie

            G       D
And my old Kentucky home

                   A
Got no father or mother

             G       D
No place to call my home

D                    A
Little birdy, little birdy

                 G      D  
What makes your head so red

                        A
Well, after all that I been through

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

D                      A
Married woman, married woman

              G       D
Why don't you settle down

                              A
Your heart's like the little birdy's

               G      D 
You're flying all a-round

D                    A
Little birdy, little birdy

               G         D
Won't you sing me your song

                           A
You've caused me lots of trouble

                 G     D
You've caused me to do wrong

D                    A
Little birdy, little birdy

               G       D
Won't you sing me your song

                     A
Got a short time to stay here

            G         D
And a long time to be gone
