anne briggs – bird in the bush lyrics
three maidens a-milking did go π
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 π
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 π
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 π
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 βoh, i’ve a bird and a very pretty bird
he’s a-pecking away at his own groundβ
|: here’s a health to the bird in the bush π
and we’ll drink up the sun, and we’ll drink down the moon
let the neighbours say little or much
