lyrics

I'm a free little bird as I can be.
I'm a free little bird as I can be.
I'll fly to the east and I'll fly to the west
and I'll fly to the one that I love best.

If I was a little honeybee,
I'd never get my honey from a jar.
I'd steal me a kiss from my true lover's lips,
then back to the hive I would go.

Take me home, little bird, take me home.
Take me home, little bird, take me home,
home to my mother. She is dearer than the others.
Take me home, little bird, take me home.

If I was a little sparrow bird,
I'd never build my nest on the ground.
I'd build me a nest in my true lover's breast,
where the wild boys would never tear it down.

If I was a mole in the ground.
If I was a mole in the ground,
I'd root so hard and I never would get tired
til I root that old mountain down.
