"Littlest Birds" Lyrics:
Well I feel like an old hobo,
I'm sad lonesome and blue
I was fair as a summers day
Now the summer days are through
You pass through places
And places pass through you
But you carry 'em with you
On the souls of your travellin' shoes

Well I love you so dearly I love you so clearly
Wake you up in the mornin' so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues
I got the wanderin' blues
And i'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways one of
these days soon
And I'll sing

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs...

Well it's times like these
I feel so small and wild
Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child
And I'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill
Singin these blues with a warble and a trill
But I'm not too blue to fly
No I'm not too blue to fly cause

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs...

Well I love you so dearly
I love you so fearlessly
Wake you up in the mornin' so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues
I got the wanderin' blues
And I don't wanna leave you
I love you through and through

Oh I left my baby on a pretty blue train
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain
I had the wanderin' blues
And I sang those wanderin' blues
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways
One of these days soon
And I'll sing...

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs....
I don't care if the sun don't shine
I don't care if nothin' is mine
I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my lovin' in the wintertime

The little ass birds sing the little ass songs.

[lesselp]

No.The last verse was sub-consciously appropriated from him.He is given a writing credit on the albums the song is featured.

i heard this song was written by Syd Barrett...is this true?

[brett symington]

reminds me of a kid at my school who used to sing " I learned my lesson I learned it well the quietest Farts make the smelliest smell,I know I'm right I just ain't wrong, the quietest farts make the stinkiest pong"

Be nice guys, the little ass birds could sing a better song than this one anyway

[AmberlinaSpoon]

Really? You REALLY thought that? "The little ASS BIRDS sing the pretty ASS songs?" That doesn't even make sense. Use your ears, and common sense to figure it out.

[tar heel]
