Wake  up wake up, little sparrow,
 Don't make your home out  in the snow,
 Don't make your home out  in the snow,
Little  bird, oh, don't you know,
 Your friends flew, South many  months ago,
 Your friends flew, South many  months ago,
You're  just a babe, you cannot fly,
 Your wings won't spread up  against the sky,
 Your wings won't spread up  against the sky,
Wake  up wake up, little sparrow,
 Don't make your home out  in the snow,
 Don't make your home out  in the snow,
 Don't make your home out  in the snow.
 I have made an effort to correspond the chord changes w/lyrics so as
 far as i can tell this is very accurate.
