Gm  F                                            Eb                F
whoooo will love a little sparrow who's traveled far and cries for rest?
    Gm         C
not I said the oak tree
  F              Dm            C
I won't share my branches with no sparrow's nest
       F          Dm           C             Gm
and my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast

whoooo will love a little sparrow, and who will speak a kindly word?
not I said the swan
the entire idea is utterly absurd
I'd be laughed at and scorned if the other swan's heard

whoooo will take pitty on his heart, and who will feed a starving sparrow?
not I said the golden wheat
I would if I could but I cannot I know
I need all my grain to prosper and grow

whoooo will love a little sparrow? will no one write her eulogy?
I will said the earth
for all I've created returns unto me
from dust were ye made and dust ye shall be
