THE Old Bob-white and Chipbird;
The Flicker, and Chewink,
And little hopty-skip bird
Along the river-brink.
The Blackbird, and Snowbird,
The Chicken-hawk, and Crane;
The glossy old black Crow-bird,
And Buzzard down the lane.
The Yellowbird, and Redbird,
The Tomtit, and the Cat;
The Thrush, and that Redhead-bird
The rest's all pickin' at!
The Jay-bird, and the Bluebird,
The Sapsuck, and the Wren --
The Cockadoodle-doo-bird,
And our old Settin'-hen!
