Little Birdie - Béla Fleck, Abigail Washburn

Two little birdies all in the nest

One little birdie just a-takin' his rest

Other little birdie jumps in the sky

Fly little birdie oh fly!

Little birdie why you fly so soon?

Little birdie why do you fly so soon?

Has your mama been gone too long?

Has your mama been gone too long?

Crocodile waitin' by the riverbend

Hasn’t had a meal since I don’t know when

Lookin' down low, lookin' up high

Little birdie tumbles from the sky

Little birdie why do you fly so soon?

Little birdie why do you fly so soon?

Has your mama been gone too long?

Has your mama been gone too long?

Little birdie why do you fly so soon?

Little birdie why do you fly so soon?

Has your mama been gone too long?

Has your mama been gone too long?

(Little birdie, little birdie)

(Little birdie, little birdie)

Croc says, Little fella don’t you know

It’s dangerous in this world alone

Tales your mama tells are real

Now you’re going to be my evening meal

Just then come the sound of wings

Momma grabs her birdie and flies…

Little birdie why do you fly so soon?

Little birdie why do you fly so soon?

Has your mama been gone too long?

Has your mama been gone too long?

Has your mama been gone too long?
