Run, rabbit; run, run, runThe fox is on its wayThe wolf is right behind him, And the woodcutter's gone to playGranny's just a sweet old manOh, what big thighs you have, my dearThe willow trees whisper sweet, sweet nothings In my pitch-forgotten earThey said, Hide beneath our shadows, Our leaves will fall to cover youThe wind will cover footsteps And we'll whistle through and throughDaddy's gonna buy you a mockingbirdDaddy's gonna buy you a mockingbirdDaddy's gonna buy you a mockingbirdDaddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird today.If that mockingbird don't sing...He's gonna make it.And if that mockingbird don't sing...He's gonna make it.And if that mockingbird, bird, bird don't sing...He's gonna make it.SongtexteSweet Jesus, give me light To shine my way back throughThe fox is on my tail And there is nothing you can doThe bluebirds take their prized possessions To throw down at my feetThere's panic in their eyes; They're high enough to find out what I'll meetThey said, Hide beneath our shadows, Our wings will fall to cover youThe wind will follow footsteps And we'll whistle through and throughDaddy's gonna buy you a mockingbirdDaddy's gonna buy you a mockingbirdDaddy's gonna buy you a mockingbirdDaddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird today...
