| all ye maidens hear me warning
|
| never trade the hearts of men
|
| they will crush you like a sparrow
|
| leaving you to never mend
|
| they will vow to always love you
|
| swear no love but yours will do then they’ll leave you for another
|
| break your little heart in two
|
| (chours)
|
| little sparrow, little sparrow
|
| precious fragile little thing
|
| little sparrow, little sparrow
|
| flies sp high and feels no pain
|
| if i were a little sparrow
|
| o’er these mountains i would fly
|
| i would find him, i would find him
|
| and look into his lying eyes
|
| i would flutter all around him
|
| on my little sparrow wings
|
| i would ask him, i would ask him
|
| why he let me love in vain
|
| i am not a little sparrow
|
| i am just a broken dream
|
| of a cold, false-hearted lover
|
| and his evil cunning scheme]
|
| (repeat chours) |
