Three Birds

There were three birds that built very low
Said the first to the second, let't have at her toe
The third he went merrily, merrily in
The third he went merrily in.

cho: Oh never went wimble or timber so nimble
     With so little scvrewing or knocking in
     With so little knocking in.

There were three birds that built very free
Said the first to the second, let't have at her knee
The third he went merrily, merrily in
The third he went merrily in.

etc. high, thigh
     on a stump, rump
     limb, quim
Recorded by Ed McCurdy on When Dalliance was in Flower etc.
