Lyrics The Go Away Bird - John Edmond

A sprightly young hunter rose early one morning
Before all the birds were awake
And he hoped that he might at the first hour of light
Find a handsome big trophy to take
As he slowly crept over the brow of a hill
To see just what he could see
He heard upon high the ear splitting cry
Of a Go away bird in a tree
Go away go away go away from our haven
I'm going to be spoiling your fun
Go away go away go away from our haven
You and your ravishing gun
All of the creatures below in the valley
Ran off when commotions were heard
The frustrated young hunter was left in their dust
With one noisy go away bird
Go away go away go away from our haven
I'm going to be spoiling your fun
Go away go away go away from our haven
You and your ravishing gun
So he followed his quarry for mile upon mile
"Till at last he approached once again
But a scream to his right put his victims to flight
And his stalking had all been in vain
Go away go away go away from our haven
I'm going to be spoiling your fun
Go away go away go away from our haven
You and your ravishing gun
Now the angry young hunter raised up his long rifle
And pointed it up at the pest
And as he let fly the bullet went shy
And I don't have to tell you rest.
Go away go away go away from our haven
I'm going to be spoiling your fun
Go away go away go away from our haven
You and your ravishing gun
Go away go away go away from our haven
I'm going to be spoiling your fun
Go away go away go away from our haven
You and your ravishing gun
