Lyrics Pretty Bird - Hazel Dickens

Pretty Bird

Fly away you 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’d bring
But fly away little pretty bird
Cold runneth the spring
Loves own tender flames warm this meeting
And love’s tender songs you’d sing
But fly away little pretty bird
And pretty you’ll always stay
I cannot make you no promises
For love is such a delicate thing
But fly away little pretty bird
For he’d only clip your wings
Fly fly away you 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’d b free evermore
Fly away littl pretty bird
Where the cold winter winds don’t blow
