Back to Free a Little Bird
FREE A LITTLE BIRD. Old-Time, Song and Breakdown. USA; Eastern Tenn., North Carolina. The lyrics, as sung by Bascom Lamar Lunsford, begin:
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.
Oh, who will shoe them pretty little feet,
And who will glove them little hands?
Who will kiss them red rosy cheeks,
When we're in some far distant land.
