Leatherwing Bat |
| «I» said the little leatherwing bat |
| «I'll tell to you the reason that |
| The reason that I fly by night |
| Is because I’ve lost my heart’s delight.» |
| Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day |
| Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day |
| Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day |
| Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low |
| «I» said the blackbird sittin' on a chair |
| «Once I courted a lady, fair |
| She proved fickle and turned her back |
| And ever since then I’ve dressed in black.» |
| «I» said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence |
| «Once I courted a handsome wench |
| She got scared and from me fled |
| And ever since then my head’s been red.» |
| «I» said the little turtle dove |
| «I'll tell you how to win her love |
| Court her night and court her day |
| Never give her time to say o-neigh!» |
| «I» said the bluejay and away he flew |
| «If I were a young man I’d have two |
| If one were faithless and chanced to go |
| I’d add the other string to my bow» |
| Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low |
