Song Lyrics

Fly away you little pretty bird
Fly fly away
Fly away little pretty bird
And pretty you'll always stay

I see in your eyes a promise
Your own tender love you'd bring
But fly away little pretty bird
Cold runneth the spring

Loves own tender flames warm this meeting
And love's tender songs you'd sing
But fly away little pretty bird
And pretty you'll always stay

I cannot make you no promises
For love is such a delicate thing
But fly away little pretty bird
For he'd only clip your wings

Fly fly away you little pretty bird
Fly fly away
Fly away little pretty bird
And pretty you'll always stay

Fly far beyond the dark mountain
To where you'd be free evermore
Fly away little pretty bird
Where the cold winter winds don't blow

Hazel Dickens
