Anita Carter - Take Me Home lyrics

Take me home little bird take me home Take me home little bird take me home Home to my mother she is dear than the others Take me home little bird take me home I'm as free a little bird as I can be I'm as free a little bird as I can be I fly to the east and I fly to the west And I fly to the one I love the best I wish I was a little honey bee I'd get some of that honey from the comb I'd steal me a kiss from my true lover's lips And back to my hive I would go Take me home little bird take me home... I wish I was a little sparrow bird I'd never build on my nest on the ground I'd build my nest in my true lover's vest Where the wild birds never tear it down Take me home little bird take me home... [ banjo ] Well I wish I was a little mole A little mole a rootin' in the ground I'd root so hard that I'd never would get tired And I'd root them old mountains down Take me home little bird take me home... I'm as free a little bird as I can be...
