Little Red Bird

from Many More Ways Than One by Wildwood Jack

/

about

From an old Manx lullaby. We've written a new tune, re-written the lyrics and added a second half to every verse.

lyrics

Little red bird of the blackest ground
Where did you sleep last night?
I slept last night on the top of the briar
Nothing there was right
It was cold and dark
And the night was long
I prayed for my soul to keep
As I slept last night on the top of the briar
Oh what a terrible sleep

Little red bird of the blackest ground
Where did you sleep last night?
I slept last night on the top of the hill
Nothing there was right
It was cold and dark
And the night was long
I prayed for my soul to keep
As I slept last night on the top of the hill
Oh what a terrible sleep

Little red bird of the blackest ground
Where did you sleep last night?
I slept last night on the ridge of the roof
Nothing there was right
It was cold and dark
And the night was long
I prayed for my soul to keep
As I slept last night on the ridge of the roof
Oh what a terrible sleep

Little red bird of the blackest ground
Where did you sleep last night?
Quite at ease between two leaves
Oh what a beautiful sleep

Quite at ease between two leaves
Oh what a beautiful sleep
