Oh I wish I was a little bird, A bird that flies from tree to tree,

voiceCollected by: Sung by: Oleavia Houser Merlyn B. Page Fayetteville, Arkansas James R. Hayes September 28, 1958 Reel 277 Item 8 TAKE ME HOME, LITTLE ANNIE (Fragment) Oh I wish I was a little bird, A bird that flies from tree to tree, I would build my nest, On my true lover’s breast, Then the bad boys could never bother me. Take me home, little Annie, take me home, Take my home, little Annie, take me home, Where the grass is ever green, And the flowers ever seen, To my dear ole sunny south take me home.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
