Fly away, little pretty bird
Fly, fly away
Fly away, little pretty bird
And pretty, you'd always stay
I see in your eyes, a promise
Your own tender love you bring
But fly away, little pretty bird
Cold runneth the spring
Love's own tender flames 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 delicate thing
Fly away, little pretty bird
For he'd only clip your wings
Fly, fly away, 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'll be free evermore
Fly away, little pretty bird
Where the cold winter winds don't blow"
