Rex Allen — Sparrow in the Treetops lyrics

Lyrics

Sparrow in the treetop
Though he loves his mate
Sparrow in the treetop
Scared of going home because it’s too darn late
Don’t look at me
Sweetheart, with scorn in your eyes
Been out all night
Gonna tell you no lies
Stopped in one place
Heard them singin' a song
Like a lonely sparrow
Started singin' along
Just singin'
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop (In the tavern, all night)
Though he loves his mate (Sitting in the tavern)
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop (In the tavern, singing songs)
Scared of going home because it’s too darn late
In walked a blonde
And, dear, she asked me to dance
I told that blonde
That there wasn’t a chance
I love my kids
And my beautiful wife
Now that’s the honest truth, dear
And I swear by my life
Kept singin'
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop (In the tavern, all night)
Though he loves his mate (Sitting in the tavern)
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop (In the tavern, singing songs)
Scared of going home because it’s too darn late
There’s things I am, sweetheart
And things that I ain’t
'Cause I’m a man
And a man is no saint
Won’t you forgive?
'Cause I’m tellin' you true
I spent my time, dear
Only thinkin' of you
Just singin'
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop (In the tavern, all night)
Though he loves his mate (Sitting in the tavern)
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop (In the tavern, singing)
Scared of going home because it’s too darn late
