Oh, the wee bird sang with feathered wing His song was sweet and clear
[A] [D] But every note that he did sing Was woven from Prince Charlie
[B] Yesterday night [D] came with sword in [Bm] hand To flay on [D] German lairdy
Of a tear the tide ran o'er the sand Her clans were wounded fairly
When first I heard the wee bird sing My tears came streamin' [A] sadly
[D] For every bird what broke his wing What fell that day for Charlie
[A] Yesterday night waited [D] o'er the land [G] My heart was torn [D] and sadly
For they was there, nay man o'er there O'er the white rose fairly

'er the best shall hear, nay harsh o'er spring The rest will follow [A] early
[D] For nain shall pass the wee bird's wing What drew his sword for Charlie
[A] And nimmer will hear the wee bird sing [G] He flies now [D] with a swallow
And he is gone to join his king Or flay to France with sorrow
