lyrics

STARLING

Fly away little starling
Won’t you go and leave me be
How you shake me from my dreaming
Beneath the willow tree
Beneath the willow tree

Be still little starling

Don’t you sing your mocking song

Cause it rings with the echoes

Of all that I done wrong

Of all that I done wrong

Oh starling

Oh starling

Send a sweet little sparrow

Or a snow white dove

To ease my poor heart

With the memory of his love

With the memory of his love

Oh starling

Oh starling

Fly on little starling

Why won’t you hear my plea

No peace ’til you take wing

Little starling set me free
Oh starling set me free


Oh starling

Set me free
