Free Little Bird Lyrics


I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
Gonna build my nest in a big oak tree
Where no one can never bother me
If I was a little fish
I'd never bite a hook or a line
No I'd swim way out to the middle of the sea
And leave all you big fish behind
If I was a mole in the ground
If I was a mole in the ground
I would roop that mountain down
If I was a mole in the ground
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
Gonna build my nest in a big oak tree
Where no one can never bother me
Take me home, little bird, take me home

Take me home by the light of the moon
With the moon shining bright
And the stars are getting light
Take me home, little bird, take me home
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
Gonna build my nest in a big oak tree

When Folkways sought in 1960 to return banjo man Ashley to the public eye, he brought along his neighbor Watson, a blind, flat-picking guitarist then playing in an electric rockabilly band. To say that Doc and his easy-going grace stole the show would be an understatement. It wasn’t just his crystal-clear picking style that so astonished, but also the encyclopedic bag of licks that enabled Doc to seemingly play all night without repeating any, and the equally infinite number of traditional songs he carried in his head. From Ashley’s calling-card “The Coo Coo Bird” to Watson’s solo “Sittin’ on Top of the World,” these are among the most essential sides of the folk revival.
