Well I feel like an old hobo, I'm sad lonesome and blue,
I was fair as the summer day now the summer days are through.
You pass through places and places pass through you,
But you carry 'em with you on the soles of your travellin'
Shoes.
Well I love you so dearly I love you so clearly
I wake you up in the mornin' so early,
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues.
I got the wanderin' blues,
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways one of these days soon,
And I'll 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.
( repeat x2)
Well it's times like these I feel so small and wild
Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child.
And i'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill,
Singin 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.
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs.
( repeat x6)
Well I love you so dearly I love you so fearlessly,
I wake you up in the mornin' so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues.
I got the wanderin' blues,
And I don't wanna leave you I love you through and through.
Oh I left my baby on a pretty blue train,
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain.
But I had the wanderin' blues,
And I sang those wanderin' blues.
And i'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways one of these days soon,
And i'll 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.
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs.
( repeat x 5)
I don't care if the sun don't shine,
I don't care if nothin' is mine.
I don't care if I'm nervous with you,
I'll do my lovin' in the wintertime.
