A night so still , silent the Whippoorwill And down by the river a sweet moaning can be heard A moon so thin, milk on their skin Whispering betrayal Love's a dirty little bird He's a dirty little bird with dirty little wings That fly across the night on high to other pretty things Down by the river, sweet moaning can be heard It's telling me my love's a dirty little bird It was long ago I was young and fine When he took me by the hand and promised that his heart'd be mine We prayed for a son, I could bear him none Barren and bitter love's a dirty little bird He's a dirty little bird with dirty little claws That prance and creep and pleasure seek Behind the bedroom doors And he gives out all the tenderness I yearn My love's a dirty little bird Dirty little birds got dirty little eyes That bare my soul -it's a heavy toll And tell me I should wise up and heed all the lessons I could learn My love's a dirty little bird Songtexte A womans heart can be broken some And her mind and her spirit they will see her overcome But break a womans pride and woe to you You'd better go and grab your gun man Theres no telling what she'll do Dirty little birds got dirty little beaks That peck and pry the wretched lies For revenge that they seek And she's walking down the path of no return Woe to that Dirty Little bird You take my heart and you take my time You leave my soul without grace or pride You take what's yours and you break what's mine You take and you take Dirty little bird got dirty little wings That fly across the night on high to other pretty things Down by the river sweet moaning can be heard It's telling me My love's a dirty little bird Aus Songtexte Mania
