COME, COME, LITTLE BIRD Sung by: Mrs. Bowen Stuart Recorded in Banner, AR 8/11/62 Click here to listen to the original recording I have a cage all ready for thee. Pretty bright flowers I'll bring to you, Red ripe cherries all wet with dew." "No, no, little boy, I can't come there, Rather fly around in the fresh cool air. Snug little nest in an old oak tree Is better than a golden cage for me." |
