Jolie Holland - The Littlest Birds Lyrics
(Sammy Parton/Jolie Holland/Syd Barrett)Well, I feel like an old hoboI'm sad, lonesome and blueI was fair as a summer's dayNow the summer days are throughYou pass through placesAnd places pass through youBut you carry them with youOn the soles of your travelling shoesWell, I love you so dearlyI love you so clearlyI wake you up in the morningSo early just to tell youI got the wandering bluesI got the wandering bluesAnd I'm going to quitThese rambling ways one of theseDays soonAnd I singThe littlest birds sing the prettiest songsThe littlest birds sing the prettiest songsthe littlest birds sing the prettiest songsAnd the littlest birds sing the prettiest songsWell it's times like these I feel so smallAnd wild like the rambling footstepsOf a wandering childAnd I'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwillSinging these blues with a warble and a trillBut I'm not too blue to flyNo I'm not too blue to fly'Cause the littlest birds sing the prettiest songsThe littlest birds sing the prettiest songsThe littlest birds sing the prettiest songsAnd the littlest birds sing the prettiest songsBut I love you so dearlyI love you so fearlesslyI wake you up in the morning so earlyJust to tell youI've got the wandering bluesI've got the wandering bluesAnd I don't want to leave youI love you through and throughWell I left my baby on a pretty blue trainAnd I sang my songs to the cold and the rainAnd I had the wandering bluesAnd I sang those wandering bluesAnd I'm gonna quit these rambling ways one of theseDays soonAnd I singThe littlest birds sing the prettiest songsThe littlest birds sing the prettiest songsThe littlest birds sing the prettiest songsThe littlest birds sing the prettiest songsThe littlest birds sing the prettiest songsAnd the littlest birds sing the prettiest songsWell I don't care if the sun don't shineAnd I don't care if nothing is mineAnd I don't care if I'm nervous with youI'll do my loving in the wintertime.
