Lyrics Little Birdie - Béla Fleck, Abigail Washburn

Little Birdie

Two little birdies all in the nest
One little birdie just a-takin' his rest
Other little birdie jumps in the sky
Fly little birdie oh fly!
Little birdie why you fly so soon?
Little birdie why do you fly so soon?
Has your mama been gone too long?
Has your mama been gone too long?
Crocodile waitin' by the riverbend
Hasn’t had a meal since I don’t know when
Lookin' down low, lookin' up high
Little birdie tumbles from the sky
Little birdie why do you fly so soon?
Little birdie why do you fly so soon?
Has your mama been gone too long?
Has your mama been gone too long?
Little birdie why do you fly so soon?
Little birdie why do you fly so soon?
Has your mama been gone too long?
Has your mama been gone too long?
(Little birdie, little birdie)
(Little birdie, little birdie)
Croc says, Little fella don’t you know
It’s dangerous in this world alone
Tales your mama tells are real
Now you’re going to be my evening meal
Just then come the sound of wings
Momma grabs her birdie and flies…
Little birdie why do you fly so soon?
Little birdie why do you fly so soon?
Has your mama been gone too long?
Has your mama been gone too long?
Has your mama been gone too long?
