Sparrow in the Treetop Lyrics

In the tavern, all night sittin' in the tavern
In the tavern singin' songs

Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Though he loves his mate
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Scared of goin' 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
(Heard them singin' a song)
Like a lonely sparrow, started singin' along
(Just singin')


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
(And my beautiful wife)
That's the honest truth, dear, and I swear by my life
(Just singin')


(In the tavern, all night sittin' in the tavern,)
(In the tavern singin' songs)

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
('Cause I'm tellin' you true)
I was in the tavern only thinkin' of you
(Just singin')


(Just singin')

(In the tavern, all night sittin' in the tavern,)
(In the tavern singin' songs)
