Cat. #0803 (MFH #128) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on June 25, 1969
VERSE 1
Wake up, wake up, you drowsy sleeper
Wake up, wake up, for it's almost day
How can you lie, sleep an' slumber
When your true love is go'in away
VERSE 2
Hush up, hush up, you ain't my papa
Bad news, bad news, will be to him
Go away, go away, an' court another
Sh' soft'la whispered in his y'ears
VERSE 3
I won't go 'way an' court no other
You er' the only girl I love
VERSE 4
If I were a little spar-row
An' I had wings c'd fly so high
My false true lover I would follow
An' in 'er talk I'd be close by
VERSE 5
O yes, I see you ain't no spar-row
N' you not got wing t' fly so high
Your flase true lover you cain't follow
N' in her talk, you won't be close by
