Little sparrow, little sparrow

Precious fragile little thing

Little sparrow, little sparrow

Flies so high and feels no pain

All ye maidens hede my warning

Never trust the hearts of men

They will crush you like a sparrow

Leaving you to never mend

They will vow to always love you

Swear no love but yours will do

Then they'll leave you for another

Break your little heart in two

Chorus:

Little sparrow, little sparrow

Precious fragile little thing

Little sparrow, little sparrow

Flies so high and feels no pain

If I were a little sparrow

O'er these mountains I would fly

I would find you, I would find you

Look into yours lying eyes

I would flutter all around you

On my little sparrow wings

I would ask you, I would ask you

Why you let me love in vain

I am not a little sparrow

I am just the broken dream

Of a cold false-hearted lover

And your evil cunning scheme

Chorus

All ye maidens fair and tender

Never trust the hearts of men

They will crush you like a sparrow

Leaving you to never mend

Little sparrow, little sparrow

Oh the sorrow never ends
