Lyrics

Fly away, 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 bring

But fly away, little pretty bird

Cold runneth the spring

Love's own tender flames warms this meeting

And loves tender song should sing

But fly away, little pretty bird

And pretty, you'll always stay

I cannot make you no promise

Love is such a delicate thing

Fly away, little pretty bird

For he'd only clip your wings

Fly, fly away, little pretty bird

Fly, fly away

Fly away, little pretty bird

And pretty, you'd always stay

Fly far beyond the dark mountain

To where you'll be free evermore

Fly away, little pretty bird

Where the cold winter winds don't blow
