‘Little Birdie’ - Trad. arr. Salt House
‘Short Time’ - Ewan MacPherson (MCPS & PRS)

lyrics

Little Birdie, Little Birdie,
Won’t you sing to me your song?
You’ve a short time to stay here,
And a long time to be gone.

Little Birdie, Little Birdie,
What makes you fly so high?
When you know that my true lover,
Is waiting in the sky.

Little Birdie, Little Birdie,
Won’t you sing to me your song?
You’ve caused me lots of trouble,
You’ve caused me to do wrong.

Little Birdie, Little Birdie,
Won’t you sing to me your song?
You’ve a short time to stay here,
And a long time to be gone.
