i saw a little snowbird as lovely as can be
sat upon a mountain top looking down on me
he flew down my side sat upon my knee
he was very friendly a friendly chap was he

then he began to sing very loud and strong
such a lovely melody to his little song
he had big brown eyes his feathers oh so white
he filled my heart with joy and filled me with delight.

when he finished singing his lovely melody
snowbird flew away and waved goodbye to me
its something i will treasure in my memory
for ever in my heart he will always be
