Loading...

verse 1
hi said the leathering bat
i’ll tell you the reason that
the reason that i fly by night
i’ve lost my hearts delight

chorus
li de lo and a diddle um a day
li de lo and a diddle um a day
li de lo and a diddle um a day
hey lee lee and li de oh

verse 2
hi said the morning dove
i’ll tell you how to regain your love
court her night, court her day
never give her time to say your name

verse 3
hi said the owl, his head so white
another day and a lonesome night
thought i heard a pretty girl say
she’d court all night and sleep all day

chorus
li de lo and a diddle um a day
li de lo and a diddle um a day
li de lo and a diddle um a day
hey lee lee and li de oh
verse 4
hey said the red bird sitting on a chair
once i courted a lady fair
she got saucy and then she fled
ever since then my eggs been red

chorus
li de lo and a diddle um a day
li de lo and a diddle um a day
li de lo and a diddle um a day
hey lee lee and li de oh

verse 5
hi said the blackbird sitting on a bench
once i courted a handsome wench
she got fickle and turned her back
ever since then i’ve dressed in black

verse 6
hi said the bluebird as he flew
if i were a young man i’d have two
if one got saucy and one to go
i’d have a new string to my bow

verse 7
hi said the jaybird sitting in the tree
when i was a young man i had three
two got saucy and took to flight
the one that’s left don’t treat me right
chorus
li de lo and a diddle um a day
…and a diddle um a day
li de lo and a diddle um a day
hey lee lee and li de oh
