Little Sparrow Lyrics

Little sparrow, little sparrow, Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow, Flies so high and feels no pain.

All ye maidens heed my warning, Never trust the hearts of men
For they will crush you like the sparrow, Leaving you to never mend.
Little sparrow, little sparrow, Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow, Flies so high and feels no pain.

Oh, if I were a little sparrow, O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find him, Yes, I would find him
And look into his lying eyes.
I would flutter all around him on my little sparrow wings
And I would ask him, Yes, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain.

Little sparrow, little sparrow, Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow, Flies so high and feels no pain.

But I am not some little sparrow, I am but a broken wing
From a cruel false-hearted lover and his evil cunning scheme.
Little sparrow, little sparrow, Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow, Flies so high and feels no pain.

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh the sorrow never ends.
