One little dicky-bird,

Hopped on my shoe;

Along came another one,

And that made two.

Chorus:

Fly to the tree-tops;

Fly to the ground;

Fly, little dicky-birds,

Round and round.

Two little dicky-birds,

Singing in a tree;

Along came another one,

And that made three.

Chorus:

Three little dicky-birds,

Came to my door;

Along came another one,

And that made four.

Chorus:

Four little dicky-birds,

Perched on a hive;

Along came another one,

And that made five.

Chorus:

Five little dicky-birds,

Nesting in the ricks;

Along came another one,

And that made six.

Chorus:

Six little dicky-birds,

Flying up to heaven;

Along came another one,

And that made seven.

Chorus:

Seven little dicky-birds,

Sat upon a gate;

Along came another one,

And that made eight.

Chorus:

Eight little dicky-birds,

Swinging one a line;

Along came another one,

And that made nine.

Chorus:

Nine little dicky-birds,

Looking at a hen;

Along came another one,

And that made ten.

Chorus:

A.W.I Bladwin.
