GUEST,Frankie Origins: Birdie Birdie In The Tree (9) RE: Origins: Birdie Birdie In The Tree 08 Nov 24


?? Birdie Birdie in the tree

Come and sing a song to me,
Sing it loud and sing it long,
Sing for me a pretty song

Hopping skipping all around,
Here and there upon the ground,
Come and see the crumbs I've strewn,
I have saved them all for you

My mother, born in 1921, passed this lullaby on to me; her mama sang it to her, and her mama's mama (Kate W) must've sung it; her greatgrandma (MaMe W, born around 1820) most likely sang it to baby Kate.

MaMe was from Kentucky, and her ancestors came there from Virginia/North Carolina with the Kendall Moss group of pioneers.
