voiceColl. by M.C. Parler Sung by Mrs. Miner Griffin December 12, 1953 Conway, Ark. Reel 179 Item 6 Birdie, Birdie Fly across the ocean Birdie, Far beyond the gloomy sea, There you'll find a true once-lover, Who is all this world to me. Chorus Birdie, Birdie, darling Birdie, Do not tarry on the way, When you hear the ocean murmur, Birdie, Birdie, fly away. Let him think how once he faltered, Near the window, by my side, When he asked me would I have him, Asked me would I be his bride, CHORUS Tell him how my heart is acheing, Aching that gives me pain, That my pride would not allow him, To return his words again. Take to him this golden ringlet, Place it on his bosom there, Tell him birdie to remember, How my curls once nestled there.Funding...
