You Flew Away From The Nest - Mono - Al Jolson

Yesterday I watched two love birds in a tree

Just bill and coo, like love birds do

I began to envy them when suddenly

One flew away, far away just like you

Like a birdie, you flew away from the nest

Never said goodbye to me, went and left me up a tree

Don’t know if you flew to the east or the west

Just know that since you have flown

I’m all alone, so depressed

Some strange bird came along

There is no doubt

And sang a different song

While I was out

Evidently you liked the new song the best

Like a birdie you flew away from the nest

I often wondered who took you away

If it was a blackbird or a jay

If a cuckoo bird took you from me

Huh!

You gone cuckoo, I can see

Couldn’t be an eagle, 'cause that bird

Wouldn’t fly so low

I wouldn’t be surprised

To know that you fell for some old crow

Like a birdie, you flew away from the nest

Never said goodbye to me, went and left me up a tree

Don’t know if you flew to the east or the west

Just know that since you have flown

I’m all alone, so depressed

Some strange bird came along

There is no doubt, no doubt

And sang a different song

While I was out

Evidently you liked the new song the best

Like a birdie you flew away from the nest
