Singin' Bird - The Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem

I have seen the lark soar high at morn

Heard his song up in the blue

I have heard the blackbird pipe his note

The thrush and the linnet too

But there’s none of them can sing so sweet

My singing bird as you

My singing bird as you

If I could lure my singing bird

From his own cosy nest

If I could catch my singing bird

I would warm him on my breast

But there’s none of them can sing so sweet

My singing bird as you

Oh, I will climb a high, high tree

And I’ll rob a wild bird’s nest

And I’ll bring back my singing bird

To the arms that I love best

But there’s none of them can sing so sweet

My singing bird as you

My singing bird as you
