LEATHERWING BAT



Hi said the little leatherwing bat

I'll tell you the reason that

The reason that I fly in the night

Is because I lost my heart's delight



Howdy dowdy diddle all day

Howdy dowdy diddle all day

Howdy dowdy diddle all day

Lo lo lee da diddle lee o



Hi said the red bird sitting on a fence

Once I courted a handsome wench

She got saucy and from me fled

And ever since my head's been red



Hi said the bluebird as he flew

Once I courted a young gal too

She got saucy and wanted to go

And I got me a new string for my bow



Hi said the robin as he flew

When I was young I had two

If one wouldn't love me, the other would

Don't you think my notion's good



Hoot said the owl with eyes so bright

A lonesome day, a lonesome night

Thought I heard a pretty gal say

Court all night and sleep all day



Oh no no said the turtle dove

That's no way to gain your love

If you would have your heart's delight

Keep them awake both day and night



Hi said the little leatherwing bat

I'll tell you the reason that

The reason that I fly in the night

Is because I lost my heart's delight
