I Wish I Was a Little Bird

Cat. #0221 (MFH #688) - As sung by Mr. Leander Witt, Hindsville, Arkansas on July 23, 1958

VERSE 1
O, it's if I was a little bird
I would'nt build my nest on th ground
I would build my nest on some sweet girls breast
Where th bad boys could'nt tear it down

VERSE 2
O, it's if I was a little bee
Now, I would'nt steal that honey from the domb
I'd steal a kiss from some sweet girls lips
And I'd fly away to my home

VERSE 3
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm setting on the hill, start weeping along
Just a free a little bird as I can be

VERSE 4
O, it's if I was a bumble bee
I would'nt build my nest on th ground
I would build my nest on some sweet girls breast
..... .... love ...
