(Sammy Parton/Jolie Holland/Syd Barrett) 
Well, I feel like an old hobo 
I'm sad, lonesome and blue 
I was fair as a summer's day 
Now the summer days are through 
You pass through places 
And places pass through you 
But you carry them with you 
On the soles of your travelling shoes 
Well, I love you so dearly 
I love you so clearly 
I wake you up in the morning 
So early just to tell you 
I got the wandering blues 
I got the wandering blues 
And I'm going to quit 
These rambling ways one of these 
Days soon 
And I sing 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
And the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
Well it's times like these 
I feel so small 
And wild like the rambling footsteps 
Of a wandering child 
And I'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill 
Singing these blues with a warble and a trill 
But I'm not too blue to fly 
No I'm not too blue to fly '
Cause the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
And the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
But I love you so dearly 
I love you so fearlessly 
I wake you up in the morning so early 
Just to tell you 
I've got the wandering blues 
I've got the wandering blues 
And I don't want to leave you 
I love you through and through 
Well I left my baby on a pretty blue train 
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain 
And I had the wandering blues 
And I sang those wandering blues 
And I'm gonna quit these rambling ways one of these 
Days soon 
And I sing 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
And the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs 
Well I don't care if the sun don't shine 
And I don't care if nothing is mine 
And I don't care if 
I'm nervous with you 
I'll do my loving in the wintertime.
