Starling

Fly away little starling
Go on and leave me be
How you shake me from my dreaming
Beneath the willow tree
Beneath the willow tree
Be still little starling
Don’t you sing your mocking song
Cause it rings with the echoes
Of all that I done wrong
Of all that I done wrong
Oh starling
Oh starling
Send a sweet little sparrow
Or a snow white dove
To ease my poor heart
With the memory of his love
With the memory of his love
Oh starling
Oh starling
Fly on little starling
Why won’t you hear my plea
No peace 'til you take wing
Little starling set me free
Oh starling set me free
Oh starling
set me free
