- Peter, Paul & Mary - Leatherwing Bat Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- (Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
- "I" said the little leatherwing bat
- "I'll tell to you the reason that
- The reason that I fly by night
- Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
- [Refrain:]
- Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
- Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
- Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
- Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
- "I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
- "Once I courted a lady, fair.
- She proved fickle and turned her back
- And ever since then I've dressed in black."
- [Refrain]
- "I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
- "Once I courted a handsome wench
- She got scared and from me fled
- And ever since then my head's been red."
- [Refrain]
- "I" said the little turtle dove
- "I'll tell you how to win her love
- Court her night and court her day
- Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
- [Refrain]
- "I" said the bluejay and away he flew
- "If I were a young man I'd have two
- If one were faithless and chanced to go
- I'd add the other string to my bow"
- [Refrain]
- Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
