My little bird up in the tree
How beautiful you sing
I make up my mind and I will wait
Till she comes back to stay

Oh little bird up in the tree
Yes you sing so tenderly
But tell me please when time is there
That she is coming home to stay

As I am walking down the lane
I pass the same old tree
And there you are, sweet little bird
And sing your song to me

Oh tell me please where can she be
You know I need her can't you see
Oh little bird up in the tree
Please send her back to me to stay
Oh little bird up in the tree
Please send her home to me to stay
