Leatherwing Bat

Dm                     Am
Hi, " said the little leather-wing bat, "
Dm                       F
I'll tell you the reason that,
    F                    Dm
The reason that I fly by night,
                   A7     Dm
It's because I've lost my heart's delight."

Dm           Am

F                     Dm
Howdy dowdy diddle um day,
         A7        Dm

Hi said the woodpecker sitting on a fence
Dm                        F
I once courted a handsome wench
     F                           Dm
She spread her wings and from me fled
           A7      Dm
Ever since then my head's been red

"Hi, " said the little bird so blue,
Dm                                  F
"If I were a young man I would have two,
   F                           Dm
If one got saucy and wanted to go,
             A7         Dm
I'd get me a new string for my bow."

Dm           Am

"A long old day and a lonesome night. "

Thought I heard some pretty girl say
           A7        Dm
Court all night and sleep all day."

"Hi, " said the lonesome turtle dove,
Dm                              F
"I'II tell you how to gain her love,
F                          Dm
Keep her up both night and day
                A7     Dm
Never give her time to say go away."
