[Verse One]
Little birdie, little birdie
Come and sing me your song.
I've a short time for to be here
And a long time to be gone.
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than for you to be another man’s darling
And to know you'll never be mine

NOTE: Land Norris recorded a song also called Little Birdie in 1925, but it was actually a version of the song Free Little Bird.
