If you type in the words "pretty bird", several songs come up; maybe one of them is the right one? Also, if you type in "hazel dickens" there are three of her songs that show up, but no "pretty bird". Another place you might want to check is from the main Mudcat page, click on "Links". There are many sites there; one of them may have it. You could also do a search of the Forum, where you listed this thread. It's possible this has come up before and you might find it there. Hope this helps, katlaughing |

Your own tender love you bring. Then fly away, little pretty bird, Cold runner of spring. Love's own tender flame... |

12 May 03 - 05:04 AM (#950854) Subject: DTADD: 'Pretty Bird' - Hazel Dickens From: Stewie PRETTY BIRD (Hazel Dickens) Fly away little pretty bird Fly, fly away Fly away little pretty bird And pretty you'll always stay I see in your eyes a promise Your own tender love you'll bring But fly away little pretty bird Cold runneth the spring Love's own tender flames warm this meeting And love's tender song you sing But fly away little pretty bird And pretty you'll always sing I cannot make you no promise Love is such a delicate thing Fly away little pretty bird For he'd only clip your wings Fly away little pretty bird Fly, fly away Fly away little pretty bird And pretty you'll always stay Fly far beyond the dark mountains To where you'll be free evermore Fly away little pretty bird Where the cold winter winds don't blow Source: booklet accompanying Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard 'Hazel and Alice' Rounder LP 0027. Note by Hazel Dickens: 'When I wrote "Pretty Bird" I was going through a lot of changes. Women have always been so put down and conditioned to believe certain lies about themselves that when I finally met a supposedly liberated man who was willing to accept me on an equal basis, I found it difficult to believe. Out of all these mixed feelings and ponderings, I wrote "Pretty Bird"'. --Stewie. |

12 May 03 - 12:52 PM (#951099) Subject: Lyr Add: PRETTY BIRD (Hazel Dickens) From: Joe Offer Dang! I spent half an hour transcribing this thing because some of the words are hard to understand - and now I see that Stewie found lyrics in a CD booklet. This is a later recording, and the wording is a little bit different. Since my transcription is by ear and Stewie's from the CD booklet, I'd say Stewie's is the definitive transcription. Nonetheless, I'll post mine so you can see the slight differences between the two recordings. -Joe Offer- PRETTY BIRD (Hazel Dickens) Fly away, little pretty bird, Fly, fly away Fly away, little pretty bird, And pretty you'll always stay. I see in your eyes a promise Your own tender love you'll bring, But fly away, little pretty bird, Cold runneth the spring Love's own tender flames warms this meeting And love's tender song should sing But fly away, little pretty bird, And pretty you'll always stay. I cannot make you no promise For love is such a delicate thing, Fly away, little pretty bird, For he, he'd only clip your wings. Fly, fly away, little pretty bird, Fly, fly away Fly away, little pretty bird, And pretty you'll always stay. Fly far beyond the dark mountain, To where you'll be free evermore Fly away, little pretty bird, Where the cold winter winds don't blow. from the 1987 Rounder CD, A Few Old Memories An earlier version was recorded for the Rounder album, Hazel and Alice |
