I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm free at my age as a bridie in the cage
I'm as free a little bird as I can be

Carry me home little birdie carry me home
Carry me home little birdie carry me home
Carry me home to my wife she's the joy of my life
Carry me home little birdie carry me home

I'll never build my nest on the ground
Neither in the forks of a tree
I'll build my nest in the ruffle of her dress
Where the bad boys can never bother me
