about

traditional, arrangement by Ben Bowen

This is the first track on the 1955 combo CD by Pete Seeger, BIrds Beasts Bugs & Little Fishes, which when I discovered it was really where my career as a kids' musician took root. Pete Seeger was one of my great heroes and I was really sad when he died at the ripe old age of 91. I did get to chat with him once on the phone, for about 45mins, and I will remember the conversation fondly always ~ he was kind, warm, open, and inviting.

lyrics

Little bird little bird
Fly through my window
Little bird little bird
Fly through my window
Little bird little bird
Fly through my window
Buy molasses candy

Fly through my window my sugarlump
Fly through my window my sugarlump
And buy molasses candy
