Leatherwing Bat lyrics

I said the little leatherwing bat I'll tell to you the reason that The reason that I fly by night Is because I've lost my heart's delight. Refrain: Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low I said the blackbird sittin' on a chair Once I courted a lady, fair. She proved fickle and turned her back And ever since then I've dressed in black. (refrain) I said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence Once I courted a handsome wench She got scared and from me fled And ever since then my head's been red. (refrain) I said the little turtle dove I'll tell you how to win her love Court her night and court her day Never give her time to say o-neigh! (refrain) I said the bluejay and away he flew If I were a young man I'd have two If one were faithless and chanced to go I'd add the other string to my bow (refrain) Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
