Lyrics

[Verse 1] Went to my hometown, on my lonesome There's nothing left there for me now I call my mother, explain to me Everybody's leaving away from heartache [Chorus] So little bird sing, sing it to me Sing it sweetly, on my way down So little bird sing, sing it to me Sing it sweetly, on my way down [Verse 2] Ask my father, ask where he's been Say he's been laying, in a field of blossoms and snow I go talk to him, and he don't say much He must have left there a long time ago [Chorus] So little bird sing, sing it to me Sing it sweetly, on my way down So little bird sing, sing it to me Sing it sweetly, on my way down So little bird sing, sing it to me Sing it sweetly, on my way down [Instrumental break: 8 measures] [Outro] So little bird sing, sing it to me Sing it sweetly, on my way down
