[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] Little birdie, little [Bb]
birdie, won't you [Eb] sing to me a song?
Not a short time [Bb] to stay here, and a long time [Eb] to be gone.
I'd [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] rather be in some [Bb] dark colony, where the sun don't [Eb] never shine,
than for you to be [Bb] another man's daughter, and to know that you'd [Eb] never be mine.
[Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] Little birdie, [Bb] little birdie, what makes you [Eb] fly so high,
when you know that my [Bb] true lover is a-waitin' [Eb] in the sky?
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
Little birdie, [Bb] little birdie, won't you sing to [Eb] me a song?
You cause me lots [Bb] of trouble, Lord, you cause me to do [Eb] wrong.
