SING HEIGH-HO!

THERE sits a bird on every tree;
Sing heigh-ho!
There sits a bird on every tree,
And courts his love as I do thee;
  Sing heigh-ho, and heigh-ho!
Young maids must marry.

There grows a flower on every bough;
   Sing heigh-ho!
There grows a flower on every bough,
Its petals kiss—I'll show you how:
  Sing heigh-ho, and heigh-ho!
Young maids must marry.
