Here's a variant on the version Bee-dubya-ell linked to:

FREE LITTLE BIRD

(can't remember who was singing this version. I taped it off Mary Cliff's Traditions show years ago, during a special on women's songs. - Rita)

CHORUS: Oh I'm as free a little bird as I can be, I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm gonna build my nest in a high, high tree
Where the bad boys cannot bother me

1. Oh I'll never build my nest on the ground, on the ground
Oh I'll never build my nest on the ground
I'm gonna build my nest in a high, high tree
Where the bad boys cannot tear it down (CHORUS)

2. Oh I'll never steal the honey from the bee, from the bee
I'll never steal the honey from the bee
I'm gonna steal me a kiss from my sweet baby's lips
Then I'll fly on away across the sea (CHORUS)
