Little Birdie

I'm a long way from old Dixie
From my old Kentucky home
My father and mother are both dead
Got no place to call my own

Little birdie, little birdie
Come and sing me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone

I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than to see you with another
When you promised to be mine

Little birdie, little birdie
Come and sing me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone

Little birdie, little birdie
Come and sing me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone
