Little Sparrow Lyrics

Little Sparrow lyrics

Little sparrow
Dolly parton = “little sparrow
(chorus)
Little sparrow, little sparrow,
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain.

All ye maidens heed my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend.

They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they’ll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two

Repeat chorus

If I were a little sparrow, over these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him, look into his lying eyes
I would flutter all around him, on my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him, why he left me loving him

Repeat chorus

I am not a little sparrow, I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover and his evil cunning scheme

Repeat chorus

All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you, like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend.

Little sparrow, little sparrow,
Oh my sorrow never ends.
