Well I feel like an old hobo
I'm sad, lonesome and blue
I was fair as the summer day
Now the summer days are through
You pass through places
And places pass through you
But you carry 'em with you
On the souls of your travellin' shoes

WellI love you so dearly I love you so clearly
I wake you up in the mornin' so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues
I got the wanderin' blues
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways
One of these day soon
And I'll sing

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

Well it's times like these
I feel so small and wild
Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child
And I'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill
Singing these blues with a warble and a trill
But I'm not to blue to fly
No, I'm not to blue to fly cause

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sign the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

Well I love you so dearly
I love you so fearlessly
I wake you up in the mornin' so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues
I got the wanderin' blues
And I don't want to leave you
I love you through and through

Oh I left my baby on a pretty blue train
And I sang my song to the cold and the rain
I had the wanderin' blues
And I sang those wanderin' blues
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways
One of these days soon
And I'll sing

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

**I don't care if the sun don't shine
I don't care if nothin' is mine
I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my lovin' in the wintertime
**Syd Barrett
