My Two Little Birds

I had two little birds; That sang and chirped all day. They kept me lots of company; When my sweetie was away. My darling brought them here to me; When he came home from sea. He said they'd help to pass the time away; Until he came home to stay. I loved my little birdies dear; For they filled my heart with cheer. When I sang a little song; Their high-pitched warbling sang along. My sweetheart never made it home; Which made my poor heart very sad. But my dear sweet little birds; Tried to make my sad heart glad.
