Stanley Brothers - Little Birdie Ukulele

"Little Birdy"

       C
Little birdy, little birdy
          G               C 
Won't you sing to me your song
      C
Got a short time to stay here
      G               C
And a long time to be gone


           C
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
          G              C
Where the sun don't ever shine
         C
Than for you to be another man's darling
       G                        C
And to know that you'd never be mine


       C 
Little birdy, little birdy
           G          C
What makes you fly so high
         C
When you know that my true lover
     G              C
Is a-waiting in the sky


      C                 
I'm a long way from old Dixie
       G            C
And my old Kentucky home
       C
Got no father or mother
   G                C
No place to call my home

       C
Little birdy, little birdy
           G            C  
What makes your head so red
      C 
Well, after all that I been through
       G              C
It's a wonder I ain't dead


        C
Married woman, married woman
          G          C
Why don't you settle down
             C
Your heart's like the little birdy's
       G            C 
You're flying all a-round


       C
Little birdy, little birdy
          G               C
Won't you sing to me your song
       C 
You've caused me lots of trouble
       G               C
You've caused me to do wrong
