Ives, Burl - The Bird Courting Song Lyrics
"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"
"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
Ever since Noah's been born
We've been pulling up young green corn"
