Little birdy, little birdy
What makes you fly so high?
Its because I am a birdy
And Im not afraid to die
Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
Ive a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone
Little birdy, little birdy
What makes your wing so blue?
Its because Ive been a-grievin
Grievin after you
Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
Ive a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone
Little birdy, little birdy
What makes your head so red?
After all that I have been through
Its a wonder I aint dead
Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
Ive a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone
