Free Little Bird
Dykes Magic City Trio

Oh I'm as free a little bird as I can be, I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm gonna build my nest in a weeping willow tree
Where the bad boys cannot bother me

Oh I'll never build my nest on the ground, on the ground
Oh I'll never build my nest on the ground
But I'll build my nest in a weeping willow tree
Where the bad boys cannot tear me down

Oh I'm as free a little bird as I can be, I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm gonna build my nest in a weeping willow tree
Where the bad boys cannot bother me

Oh I'll never steal honey from a tree, from a tree
I will never steal honey from a tree
But I'll steal me kiss from a sweet darlin's lips
And I'll carry her away across the sea

Oh I'm as free a little bird as I can be, I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm gonna build my nest in a weeping willow tree
Where the bad boys cannot bother me
