Sing, sing, sing my sweet little sparrow
No tongue for such a feat I have he replied
Cruel old woman took away my song
For what did she do such a thing?
No starch in a basin was her defense
Please try to sing just once for me my sweet little sparrow
No tongue for such a feat I have he replied
A sparrow’s dance is an even better song
For what did you do such a thing?
My mistress was filled with sorrow
Just try one more time and sing for me my sweet sparrow
No tongue for such a feat he replied
My master and mistress sing such a happy song
For what would they do such a thing?
I gave them gold and jewels for their grief brought upon by me
I’ll ask once more my sweet little sparrow, sing
No tongue for such a feat I have he replied
Cruel old woman now sings a song of frustration
For what would she do such a thing?
She was rewarded with a heavy stone for her offense
My sweet little sparrow sings with such laughter in his voice
