I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'll build my nest in the sour apple tree
Where those bad boys will never bother me

Oh, who will shoe them pretty little feet
And who will glove them little hands?
Who will kiss them red rosy cheeks
When we're in some far distant land
