The Bird Counting Song

«Hi"said the little leather winged bat
«I'll tell you the reason that
The reason that I fly in the night
Is because I lost my hearts delight»
«Hi"said the woodpecker sitting on a fence
«Once I courted a handsome wench
She got saucy and from me fled
Ever since then my head’s been red»
«Hi"said the bluebird as she flew
«If I were a young man I’d have two
If one got saucy and wanted to go
I’d have a new string for my bow»
«Hi"said the blackbird to the crow
«What makes mankind hate us so
Ever since Noah’s been born
We’ve been pulling up young green corn»
