Bird Song Lyrics

Said the robin as he flew,
If I were a young man I'd choose two.
If one wouldn't have me then other one would,
And don't you think my notion good?
Oh don't you think my notion
Good?

Said the blackbird to the crow,
What makes the white-fellas hate us so?
For ever since old Adam was born,
It's been our trade to pull up corn,
It's been our trade to pull
Up corn.

___ says the owl with its head so wide,
It's a lonesome day and a lonesome night.
I thought I heard some pretty girl say,
She'd caught all night and sleep all day,
She'd caught all night and sleep
All day.

No no no said the turtle dove,
That's not the way to win his love.
If you want to make him your heart's delight,
You've gotta keep him awake by day by night,
Gotta keep him awake by day
And by night.

Said the robin as he flew,
If I were a young man I'd choose two.
If one wouldn't have me then other one would,
And don't you think my notion good?
Oh don't you think my notion
Good?
