Little Bird

One day I’m gonna be
As tall as a big magnolia tree
Tell my mother to not come after me
Tell my mother to not come after me
The fear will fly from my feet
The day I turn twenty-three
Tell my mother to not come after me
Tell my mother to not come after me
Her little bird
(Little bird)
(Little bird)
Little bird
(Little bird)
Little bird
(Little bird)
Little bird
One day I’m gonna shake
The hand of the real world out on the street
After Mother has said «So long!» to me
After Mother has said «So long!» to me
My baby she’s gonna weep
If something should ever happen to me
But I gotta jump now before it’s too late
And if I land in a casket at least it could say
Her little bird
Her little bird
Grew big wings
Her little bird
Little bird
Grew big wings
Dangerous things
One day I’m gonna be
As tall as a big magnolia tree
Tell my mother to not come after me
Tell my mother to not come after me
