Little Birdie Lyrics - Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn - Bela 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! 

CHORUS 

Little birdie why you fly so soon? 

Little birdie why 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 

CHORUS X2 

(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..... 

CHORUS 

Has your mama been gone too long?
