anne briggs - bird in the bush lyrics

Loading...

three maidens a-milking did go 😐
and the wind it blow high and the wind it did blow low
it tossed their petticoats to and fro

|: they met with a young man they know 😐
and they’ve asked it of him if he had any skill
to catch them a small bird or two

|: oh yes i’ve a very good skill 😐
and it’s come away with me to the yonder flowering tree
and i’ll catch you a small bird or two

so |: it’s off to the greenwoods went they 😐
and he’s tapped at the bush and the bird it did fly in
just a little above her white knee

and her sparkling eyes they did turn round
just as if she was in a swound
and she cried “oh, i’ve a bird and a very pretty bird
he’s a-pecking away at his own ground”

|: here’s a health to the bird in the bush 😐
and we’ll drink up the sun, and we’ll drink down the moon
let the neighbours say little or much
