Bird in the Bush

Folk song from England full of double entendre

I learnt this from an Anne Briggs' recording

And another version in my other garden

"Three maidens a-milking did go 𝄇
And the wind it blow high and the wind it did blow low
It tossed their petticoats to and fro

𝄆 They met with a young man they know 𝄇
And they've asked it of him if he had any skill
To catch them a small bird or two

𝄆 Oh yes I've a very good skill 𝄇
And it's come away with me to the yonder flowering tree
And I'll catch you a small bird or two

So 𝄆 it's off to the greenwoods went they 𝄇
And he's tapped at the bush and the bird it did fly in
Just a little above her white knee

And her sparkling eyes they did turn round
Just as if she was in a swound
And she cried “Oh, I've a bird and a very pretty bird
He's a-pecking away at his own ground”

𝄆 Here's a health to the bird in the bush 𝄇
And we'll drink up the sun, and we'll drink down the moon
Let the neighbours say little or much"

I can hear Anne Briggs in your voice, beautifully sung.

I once found an original Anne Briggs lp on Topic Records whilst out in Spain on a sunday market, your the next best voice from these here parts. Another fine song, was a pleasure to listen to. 🙂

Hi I really loved this. I am wondering if you know the music just from having listened to it or if you have access to sheet music. I would love to try to sing these as well, but I could not find the sheet music for vocals and found it a bit challenging to simply follow by ear. Thank you!

Why did the police try to arrest you for singing?
You are amazing! You should have placed a curse on them with your siren voice!
