Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. Tell me my little children,
What did the jaybird say?
Jaybird say: “Jay jay jay, Jay jay jay, Jay jay jay,”
That is what he say.
2. …mockingbird… “Whee dee dee…”
3. …chee-dee… “Chee dee dee…”
4. …old crow… “craw craw craw…”
5. …old hawk… “chick chick chick…”
6. …partridge… “bob bob white…”
7. …old owl… “whoo whoo whoo…”
