@videogamehistorian No, it is actually "Flee as a bird." Google that title and these lyrics will come up. It's an old hymn.
Flee as a bird to your mountain,
thou who art weary of sin;
Go to the clear flowing fountain
where you may wash and be clean.

@videogamehistorian - Actually, the hymn title IS Flee as a Bird. And, it's absolutely gorgeous =)

Amazing!

It's FREE as a Bird, sung by J. W. Myers (who also recorded cylinders). Typos were not rare on Berliner records.

Nice, thanks for posting! First thought it was a Japanese version of a Beatles song... :) More Berliners and early 7# on-line!

Amazing. Just curious, what are you playing this on?

I played it on a modern turntable with a light weight pickup. I also filtered out a little bit of the surface scratch because I thought that this made it a little easier to listen to. It is not an authentic period experience, but I do not have an appropriate 19th century gramophone to play it on.
