I don't think anyone above has mentioned "Little Birdie" which Peggy Seeger used to sing as well as Pete Seeger:

After the singing of Peggy Seeger
And the Coon Creek Girls

Little Birdie


C--------------------G
Little birdie, little birdie
-----------------------G7-------C
Won't you sing to me your song;
----------------------------G
I've a short time for to be here
---------------------G7---C
And a long time to be gone.


Little birdie, little birdie,
What makes you fly so high?
It's because I've been a true little bird
And I'm not afraid to die.

Little birdie, little birdie
What makes your wings so blue?
I've been grieving, I've been grieving
A long time after you.

Little birdie, little birdie,
What makes your head so red?
It's a wonder, after all I've been through,
It's a wonder I ain't dead. (First Verse Again)
