Rob here, posting a tune at Louise’s request. At the moment she’s in the thrall of a migraine, so she’s lying down and having me do the whole uploading thing.
The Be Good Tanyas – The Littlest Birds.mp3
Right click, save as, all the usual good stuff.
Well, I feel like an old hobo
I’m sad, lonesome and blue
I was fair as a summer’s day
Now the summer days are through
You pass through places
And places pass through you
But you carry them with you
On the soles of your travelling shoes
Well, I love you so dearly
I love you so clearly
I wake you up in the morning
So early just to tell you
I got the wandering blues
I got the wandering blues
And I’m going to quit
These rambling ways one of these
Days soon
And I sing
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
And the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
Well it’s times like these I feel so small
And wild like the rambling footsteps
Of a wandering child
And I’m lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill
Singing these blues with a warble and a trill
But I’m not too blue to fly
No I’m not too blue to fly
‘Cause the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
And the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
But I love you so dearly
I love you so fearlessly
I wake you up in the morning so early
Just to tell you
I’ve got the wandering blues
I’ve got the wandering blues
And I don’t want to leave you
I love you through and through
Well I left my baby on a pretty blue train
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain
And I had the wandering blues
And I sang those wandering blues
And I’m gonna quit these rambling ways one of these
Days soon
And I sing
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
And the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
Well I don’t care if the sun don’t shine
And I don’t care if nothing is mine
And I don’t care if I’m nervous with you
I’ll do my loving in the wintertime.
I love you!!!!! When I first saw the Zellers commercial I was like, I love that song, but I could never make out enough of it to google it, and now here you are delivering it to me like an angel. You’re wonderful!!!
Oh now that’s a nice song. Just lookin’ over your blog having spent the evening listening to Podcasts and decided that they’re almost entirely worthless. We liked the “hello bloggy people” thing you did when you went on holiday with Rob.
