levon helm – little birds lyrics
little birds
little birds are singing all around me, on every bush and vine,
my pleasures would be doubled if i could call you mine.
as i’ve sat here the whole night through till now it’s a breakin’ day,
i’m awaitin’ for an answer, kind lady what do you say?
if i could tell to you my mind, i would choose a single life,
for i would never thought that it suited for me to be your wife.
so he wrote to her an answer and he sent it by full speed,
“you know i once did love you dearly, i once loved you indeed.
“but since that time my mind has changed, i loved another way,
i love a pretty fair damsel more suitable for me”
and it had not been, but a very short time ’til this maiden’s mind did change,
she wrote him a letter, “kind sir i am ashamed,
“if ever i have slighted you, or ever done you wrong,
i am so far away from you that i can’t hear you moan”
little birds are singing all around me, on every bush and vine,
my pleasures would be doubled if i could call you mine;
my pleasures would be doubled if i could call you mine
