Diane Taraz - The Bird Song текст песни

Исполнитель: Diane Taraz

альбом: Songs of the Revolution


Hi! says the blackbird, sitting on a chair
Once I courted a lady fair
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I'm dressed in black
Hi! says the blue-jay as she flew
If I was a young man I'd have two
If one proved fickle and chanced for to go
I'd have a new string to my bow
Hi! says the little leather winged bat
I will tell you the reason that
The reason that I fly in the night
Is because I lost my heart's delight
Hi! says the little mourning dove
I'll tell you how to gain her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say "o nay."
Hi! said the woodpecker sitting on a fence
Once I courted a handsome wench
She proved fickle and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red
Hi! says the hawk unto the crow
If you ain't black then I don't know
Ever since old Adam was born
You've been accused of stealing corn
Hi! says the crow unto the hawk
I understand your great, big talk
You'd like to pounce and catch a hen
But I hope the farmer will shoot you then
Hi! says the robin, with a little squirm
I wish I had a great, big worm
I would fly away into my nest
I have a wife I think is the best
