To the Coon Creek Girls version above, Seegar added a couple more-

Little birdie, little birdie
What makes your head so red?
After all that I been through,
It's a wonder I ain't dead.

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

Kitty Clyde was published in Christy's Plantation Melodies, no, 5, c. 1851, according to Ray B. Browne, 1979, "The Alabama Folk Lyric: A Study in origins and Media of Dissemination," p. 94.
The song essentially in the version on the sheet music by L. V. H. Crosby, dated 1853. My guess is that the Christy printing is later. The song became popular, and, like a number of popular songs of the day, would have been requested from the minstrels.

A version from Green Co., AL., borrows the chorus
Take me, take me home,
To the fair sunny South take me home
Where the mockingbird sings me to sleep every night,
To the bright sunny South take me home.
The 'bee' and the 'bad boys' verses are included.

In Arnold, "An Alabama Songbook," a song titled "Winter's Night" is mostly verses from "The Lass of Roch Royal," some of which appear in versions of Kitty Cline.
