I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm gonna build my house in that weepin' willow tree
Where them bad boys can't bother me

I won't build my nest in the air
I won't build my nest in the air
But I will build a nest in my sweet darling's breast
it around in her hair

Cuz I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm gonna build my house in that weepin' willow tree
Where them bad boys can't bother me

I would never steal the honey from a bee
I would never steal the honey from a bee
But I will steal a kiss from my sweet darlin's lips
Sailin' away far across the sea

Cuz I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm gonna build my house in that weepin' willow tree
Where them bad boys can't bother me
I'm gonna build my house in that weepin' willow tree
Where them bad boys can't bother me
