Stanley Brothers – Little Birdie chords

"Little Birdy"

       DLittle birdy, little birdy
          A               D Won't you sing to me your song
      DGot a short time to stay here
      A               DAnd a long time to be gone


           DI'd rather be in some dark hollow
          A              DWhere the sun don't ever shine
         DThan for you to be another man's darling
       A                        DAnd to know that you'd never be mine


       D Little birdy, little birdy
           A          DWhat makes you fly so high
         DWhen you know that my true lover
     A              DIs a-waiting in the sky


      D                 I'm a long way from old Dixie
       A            DAnd my old Kentucky home
       DGot no father or mother
   A                DNo place to call my home

       DLittle birdy, little birdy
           A            D  What makes your head so red
      D Well, after all that I been through
       A              DIt's a wonder I ain't dead


        DMarried woman, married woman
          A          DWhy don't you settle down
             DYour heart's like the little birdy's
       A            D You're flying all a-round


       DLittle birdy, little birdy
          A               DWon't you sing to me your song
       D You've caused me lots of trouble
       A               DYou've caused me to do wrong
