The Littlest Birds

Well, I feel like an old hobo

I'm sad, lonesome, and blue

I was fair as a summer day

Now the summer days are through

You pass through places

And places pass through you

But you carry them with you

On the soles of your travelin' shoes

Well, I love you so dearly, I love you so clearly

I wake you up in the morning so early just to tell you

I got the wanderin' blues

I got the wanderin' blues

And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways

One of these days soon, oh

And I sing, the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

Well, it's times like these, I feel so small

And wild like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child

And I'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill

Singin' these blues with a warble and a trill

But I'm not too blue to fly

No, I'm not too blue to fly

'Cause the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

Well, I love you so dearly, I love you so fearlessly

I wake you up in the morning so early just to tell you

I got the wanderin' blues

I got the wanderin' blues

And I don't want to leave you

I love you through and through

Well I left my baby on a pretty blue train

And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain

And I had the wandering blues

And I sang those wandering blues

And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways

One of these days soon, oh

And I sing, the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

I don't care if the sun don't shine

I don't care if nothin' is mine

I don't care if I'm nervous with you

I'll do my lovin' in the wintertime
