1.Good-bye,little birdie!
Fly to the sky,Singing and singing A merry good-bye.
2.Tell all the birdies Flying above,Nell in the garden Sends them her love.
3.Tell how I found you,Hurt,in a tree;Then,when they’re wounded,They‘ll come straight to me.
4.I’d like to go with you,If I could fly ;It must be so beautiful Up in the sky.
5.Why,little birdie,Why don‘t you go?You sit on my finger And shake your head,“No!”
6.He’s off!oh,how quickly And gladly he rose!3I know he will love me Wherever he goes.
7.I know,for he really Seemed trying to say,“My dear little Nelly,I can‘t go away!”
