Fly away 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 bring
But fly away little pretty bird
Close the spring

Loves own tender flame warms this meeting
And loves tender song should sing
But fly away little pretty bird
And pretty you'll always stay

I cannot make you no promise
For love is such a daily good thing
Fly away little pretty bird
For he'd only clip your wings

Fly away little pretty bird
And pretty you'd always stay
Fly far beyond the dark mountain
To where you'll be free ever more

Fly away little pretty bird
Where the cold winter winds don't blow
