Hi,

I've listened to the Hammonds recording and got most of it. I can't hear the beginning of the 3rd verse. Anyone?


LITTLE BIRDIE John Hammonds

Little birdie, little birdie,
Come sing to me your song.
I've a short time to stay here
And a long time when I'm gone.

I'd rather be in some dark Hollow
Where the shine refused to shine
Than the thought that you'd be some other man's woman
When I want to call you mine

........forty-two miles
From my old Kentucky Home
My Papa and Ma they're both dead
No place to call my own

Little birdie, little birdie,
What makes you act so queer
I'm building for my little ones
That have to clothes to wear

Married woman married woman
Look what you have done
You've caused me for to love you
Now your husband's come.

Little birdie, little birdie,
What makes you fly so high
I'm the only one in this wide world,
And I don't care if I die.
