Duhks - The Leather Winged Bat lyrics

"I" said the little brown and leather winged bat "I'll tell you the reason that the reason that I fly by night is because I've lost my heart's delight" Adidadidedilowdey (3x) Hey hey dedilowey-o "I" said the red bird sitting on a fence "I once loved a handsome wench she got saucy and from me fled and ever since my head's been red" Adidadidedilowdey (3x) Hey hey dedilowey-o "I" said the blue bird as he flew "I once loved a young gal' too she got saucy and wanted to go so I got me a new string for my bow" Adidadidedilowdey (3x) Hey hey dedilowey-o (instrument break) "I" said the robin as he flew "when I was a young man I chose two one didn't love me, the other one would don't you think my notion is good" "Hoot" said the owl with a head so white "lonesome day and lonesome night then I hear some pretty gal' say she court all night and sleep all day" (instrument break) "A woah no!" said the turtle dove "that's no way to gain his love if you wanna gain your heart's delight keep them awake both day and night" Adidadidedilowdey (3x) Hey hey dedilowey-o Adidadidedilowdey (3x) Hey hey dedilowey-o Adidadidedilowdey (3x) Hey hey dedilowey-o Adidadidedilowdey (3x) Hey hey dedilowey-o (the chorus at the end is with vocals)
