Wing wing wing of the bird
Song
1. Wings, wings, wings of the bird,
The heart of many a mother aches.
But only for that dear good mother,
Whose son is being taken to be a soldier.
2. Wings, wings, wings of the sparrow,
The heart of many a poor young man aches.
But only for that, that poor young man,
When he laces the poor man's boots.
The heart of many a mother aches.
But only for that dear good mother,
Whose son is being taken to be a soldier.
2. Wings, wings, wings of the sparrow,
The heart of many a poor young man aches.
But only for that, that poor young man,
When he laces the poor man's boots.
