Peter, Paul & Mary - Leatherwing Bat Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I said the little leatherwing bat
  • Ill tell to you the reason that
  • The reason that I fly by night
  • Is because Ive lost my hearts delight.
  • Refrain:
  • Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
  • Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
  • Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
  • Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
  • I said the blackbird sittin on a chair
  • Once I courted a lady, fair.
  • She proved fickle and turned her back
  • And ever since then Ive dressed in black.
  • (refrain)
  • I said the woodpecker sittin on a fence
  • Once I courted a handsome wench
  • She got scared and from me fled
  • And ever since then my heads been red.
  • (refrain)
  • I said the little turtle dove
  • Ill tell you how to win her love
  • Court her night and court her day
  • Never give her time to say o-neigh!
  • (refrain)
  • I said the bluejay and away he flew
  • If I were a young man Id have two
  • If one were faithless and chanced to go
  • Id add the other string to my bow
  • (refrain)
  • Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
