Album - Nancy And Lee - 1968. 

#1. 
C 
Take away the trees and the birds 

all have to sit upon the ground, uum. 

Take away their wings and 
                                   G 
the birds will have to walk to get around. 
    C 
And take away the bird baths, 
                                  F 
and dirty birds will soon be everywhere. 
D 
Take away their feathers and 
                                   G 
the birds will walk around in underwear. 

#2. 
C 
Take away their chirp and the 

birds will have to whisper when they sing. 

And take away their common sense and 
                                   G 
they'll be headed southward in the spring. 

Chorus: 
C 
Oh, remember me my darling, when spring is in the air, 
        F 
and the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere. 
        G 
You can see them walking southward in their dirty underwear, 
                   C 
it's the Tennessee Bird walk. 

#3. 
C 
How about some trees so the birds won't have to sit upon  

the ground? uum. 

How about some wings so the birds won't have to walk 
       G 
to get around. 
        C  
And how about a bird bath or two so the birds will  
       F 
all be clean? 
    D 
How about some feathers so their underwear no longer  
       G 
can be seen? 
C 
How about a chirp so the birds won't have to whisper  

when they sing. 
                   
And how about some common sense so they won't be blocking  
               G 
traffic in the spring? 

Chorus: 
C 
Oh, remember me my darling, when spring is in the air, 
        F 
and the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere. 
        G 
You can see them walking southward in their dirty underwear, 
                   C 
it's the Tennessee Bird walk. (Last line x3.)
