Chorus:
I'm as free a little bird as I can be,
I'm as free a little bird as I can be,
I'll build my nest in the sour apple tree,
Where those bad boys will 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.
Chorus
If I was a mole in the ground,
If I was a mole in the ground,
I would root that mountain down,
If I was a mole in the ground.
Chorus

Oh, who will shoe them pretty little feet,
And who will glove them little hands,
And who will kiss them red rosy cheeks,
When I am in some distant land?
Chorus
Oh it's mama will shoe my little foot,
And it's papa will glove my little hand,
And it's you will kiss my sweet rosy cheeks
When you come from that far distant land.
Chorus
Take me home, little birdie, take me home,
Take me home by the light of the moon,
With the moon a-shining bright and the stars a-giving light,
Take me home to my mama, take me home.
