Well, here's the recording:

I copy-pasted from the album notes, and I had trouble at first because the lyrics were upside-down. I think I have it all here now.

Three Little Birds

Daniel Littleton, piano, guitar and vocal; Byron Isaacs,
bass; Clem Waldmann, drums; Mark Greenberg,
celeste; Storey Littleton, vocal

This song is so universally loved it needs little in the
way of introduction. Bob Marley, a Jamaican national
treasure, innovator, and popularizer of reggae,
gave us this song about three little birds and the
comforting message they sang to him one morning.
Since he composed songs about the struggle for
political and spiritual liberation, with lyrics that stood
strongly and explicitly against the oppression of
racism, poverty, hunger, and the abuse of power, this
nursery-rhyme-like, encouraging song is particularly
meaningful to all his fans around the world.
