Lyrics Carolina Chocolate Drops – Pretty Bird

Text:

Fly away, little pretty bird
Fly, fly away
Fly away, little pretty bird
And pretty you’ll always stay

I see in your eyes the promise
Your own tender love you’ll bring
But fly away, little pretty bird
Cold runneth the spring

Love’s own tender flames warm this meeting
And love’s tender songs you’d sing
But fly away little pretty bird
And pretty you’ll always stay

I cannot make you no promise
For love is such a delicate thing
So fly away, little pretty bird
For he’d only clip your wings

Fly away, little pretty bird
Fly, fly away
Fly away, little pretty bird
And pretty you’ll always stay

Fly far beyond the dark mountains
To where you’ll be free evermore
So fly away, little pretty bird
Where the cold winter winds don’t blow
