I Meant To Do My Work Today Lyrics

I Meant To Do My Work Today
But A Brown Bird Sang In The Apple Tree
I Know That One Too
And A Buttefly Flitted Across The Field

And All The Leaves Were Calling Me
And The Buttercups Nodded Their Smiling Heads
Greeting The Bees Who Came To Call
And I Asked The Lizard The Time Of Day

As He Sunned Himself On A Moss Grove
And The Wind Went Sighing Over The Land
Tossing The Grasses To And From
And A Rainbow Held Out Its Shining Hand

So What Could I Do But Laugh And Go
My Mother Died When I Was Born
I Live With My Father On Our Own
And We Had A Cottage Where We’d Go
And He Died Too, Now I’m Alone
