Little Red Bird of the Lonely Moor

from Rhythm, Rhyme and Song by Shoshanna Godber

/

lyrics

Little red bird of the lonely moor
Lonely moor, lonely moor
Little red bird of the lonely moor
Oh where did you sleep in the night?

Out on a gorse bush, dark and wide
Dark and wide, dark and wide
Swift rain was falling on every side
Oh hard was my sleep last night

Little red bird of the lonely moor
Lonely moor, lonely moor
Little red bird of the lonely moor
Oh where did you sleep in the night?

Did I not sleep on a swaying briar
Swaying briar, swaying briar
Tossing about as the wind rose higher
Oh hard was my sleep last night

Little red bird of the lonely moor
Lonely moor, lonely moor
Little red bird of the lonely moor
Oh where did you sleep in the night?

Did I not sleep on the cold wave's crest
Cold wave's crest, cold wave's crest
Where many a man has taken his rest
Oh hard was my sleep last night

Little red bird of the lonely moor
Lonely moor, lonely moor
Little red bird of the lonely moor
Oh where did you sleep in the night?

Wrapped in two leaves I lay at ease,
Lay at ease, lay at ease,
Just like a babe on its mother's knees,
O sweet was my sleep last night
