"Littlest Birds" Lyrics:
Well I feel like an old hobo,
I'm sad lonesome and blue
I was fair as a summers day
Now the summer days are through
You pass through places
And places pass through you
But you carry 'em with you
On the souls of your travellin' shoes
Well I love you so dearly I love you so clearly
Wake you up in the mornin' so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues
I got the wanderin' blues
And i'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways one of
these days soon
And I'll sing
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs...
Well it's times like these
I feel so small and wild
Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child
And I'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill
Singin these blues with a warble and a trill
But I'm not too blue to fly
No I'm not too blue to fly cause
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs...
Well I love you so dearly
I love you so fearlessly
Wake you up in the mornin' so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues
I got the wanderin' blues
And I don't wanna leave you
I love you through and through
Oh I left my baby on a pretty blue train
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain
I had the wanderin' blues
And I sang those wanderin' blues
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways
One of these days soon
And I'll sing...
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs....
I don't care if the sun don't shine
I don't care if nothin' is mine
I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my lovin' in the wintertime

I’m a metal head. When I met my wife 18 years ago, I went to her house and sat with her in her room and watched her fold her laundry, in awe of the prettiest girl I’d ever seen, while she listened to this song and others. Today is our anniversary and I still love it. I’m a sap.
No, b'y, you just stretched your brain, see?

Dude Man . Congratulations on your bride and Opening up your metal head to these girls. I too love the metal but I'm going with everything between classical and old school punk modern rock And old school. Not some of newer crap though
Yup ❤
I often danced with my infant daughter in my arms to this song. She turned 18 yesterday and is heading off to college. So many feelings. I hope to dance with her at her wedding to this song some day.
Mate, if she doesn't have a wedding then create as many treasured opportunities to dance with your daughter as possible
I remember swaying with my newborn daughter in the living room while listening to this song. The sun had filled the room with warm light and she laid quietly on my chest. It was perfect.
It's so cruisey. Perfect for dancing with your wee one.
What a beautiful moment that must have been. Thank you for sharing. This song speaks to me deep too.
nice memory :)
God Bless You , Sir and Your family
Been 4 years now. God bless you and your child
I've only recently discovered what feels like hidden treasure: female Canadian indie folk singers such as Be Good Tanyas, Sarah Harmer, Kathleen Edwards, Amelia Curran, Emilie Kahn, Whitney Rose, etc. Incredibly gorgeous music that should be getting more exposure.
Add rose cousins
Theres more then that that are truely independent s ..folk and cross overs that came and went esp in the 90.s and the early mid 2000.s
Im from the 60s and 70s folk movement , so when my daughter introduced me to these gifted young ladies some years ago I immediately became and continue to be a big fan.
How do mark ur comment for reference? Thank you for the recommendations.

This was one of my little brother Jim's favourite songs who was ten years younger than me because he told me that it's how he felt about my oldest daughters Tanya and Lacey who were only eight and ten years younger than him. Because my dear kind hearted wonderful brother had so much pain in his heart, not much gave him pure joy, which ultimately took him from us two years ago 💔 So I pop by now and then to listen to one of those rare things that gave my beloved brother and best friend pure joy. Thank you to the Be Good Tanya's for giving my brother those moments 💕
I am so sorry you lost your sweet brother. I am glad he felt the joy of music. Peace to you.
Thank you so much 💗 I was missing him today a lot. It's been almost 3 years now and my heart still aches for his lost friendship. The other song that I always listen to is "In the Blood" by John Mayer. He introduced me to it because he identified with it. I did right away as well because, well we share the same blood and many of the same issues. I'm just a little bit stronger than him and beat my addictions for the most part, where his accidentally killed him. I know without a doubt that his troubled soul is finally at peace now though 💙
6 years now?
People are still reading and caring 💙
I hope your heart grew the space it needed to live with that sadness more comfortably. Peace and love to you and your family
This song has kept me company on many a journey..
Same here
I discovered this song on accident just yesterday, and now I’m in love. It makes me feel happy inside
My grandmother and my mama used to sing this to me, and it always makes me cry
I am amazed by the precision and gentleness of their music. So beautiful.
Precision gentleness should be a way of life.
The little ass birds sing the pretty ass songs. Speaks to my heart.
Elias Ritter BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S HILARIOUS DUDE!! My day is better now!
I was a drunk, druggy, fugitive for almost 3 years at the time I first heard this song. I would wake up at 4:53 before my alarm clock would go off at 4:54. I would grab my lunch and my little mp3 player with this one song on it and I would run full speed in -20 to -40 at the time in Calgary, Alberta to make the first train for 5:00AM to catch the number 52 bus to transfer to another bus to go work in a factory as I wrote rhymes. The people who were jammed in sitting next to me on the bus hearing this song play over and over and over and over from my headphones for those 3 months. I often wonder what they thought.
i hope you’re free as free can be now
@@annalaren I truly am. Thankyou ❤️
so glad to hear it ~ may GOD bless
🩷
Absolutely love the Syd Barrett Pink Floyd reference at the end. She actually quotes the song Jugband blues. So cool, so trippy 🥰
loved this song for years... so sweet...makes me just wanna sit in the sunshine at dusk & enjoy a smooth drink, feel the soft breeze on my skin with the golden soft sunshine rays warming me...
A song to cheer you as you wither away into nothingness. ;)
A song to listen along little birds?
My mama used to sing this to me and it always makes me cry🥺
Angels on the wind of their music and the sound of their soul will bring you home.
pure canadiana. so understated yet so beautiful
I just found this talented band and this song on Spotify tonight and it is one of those songs that speaks to me so deep it just physically fills my heart right up and brings happy tears to me. Cause I love the folksy bluesy country sound and for me I translate the lyrics into being about the long time I spent wandering (not lost but wandering) often living in my car and building my confidence and voice like a little bird with a big heart while sometimes feeling pent-up, heartbroken, and invisible as I flew around seeking out nests. I'll cover this song one day.
I have maintained for a long time that some of the best poetry of the last 50 years is in the form of song.
Okay there it is! Be Good Tanyas: go ahead on with your deelightful harmonies, steady grooves, soulful sensibilities, and I will keep on loving it.
One of those songs you can't stop listening to. Great stuff!!
I love this song!!! 'The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs' it is my favorite quote
I think many of us are experiencing those wandering blues these days...
Time to fly!!! Better than waitin around to die😉
One of my all-time favorites!
Weeds has seriously changed my life in the musical area. God their music choice is beautiful... And amazing show.
this song makes me wanna leave where ever I am....I never heard it before, but it's now my new fave traveling tune
from the Littlest bird.
This is my whole childhood. I would go to my yayas house and dance around the giant living room my late grandfather built, and my mama would sing to me. This song is so peaceful and always makes me cry hearing it. I wish I could go back to those days🥺
One of this days I’m goin to quit my rumbling ways ...MUCH LUV N SUPPORT ✌️
This is in a 1,000 way tie for the best song ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Be Good Tanyas deserve so much more than 87,374 views.
Ty. You'll never know the joy u have brought me from ur music
Lovely song... But am I the only one who hears "little ass birds sing pretty ass songs!" 😁🐦🎶
That's funny 😂 such a sweet song!
The prettiest birds sing the prettiest songs lol
😂😂😂💞🌿✨
❤😂😅
I love this group....
you are not lonely
The Lord moves in mysterious ways in this is a perfect example!!!
Stumbled upon this on the radio whilst driving home. This is just beautiful. Can't stop listening to it.
I did that today... except I was driving from home :)
If you're reading this.....I'm glad you're here...
2010 was a great time.
I was watching because of Winn Dixie and found my love of BGTs and no trip or play time with my budgies is complete with out their songs now
A gem of a song. First heard this is a wonderful, obscure little Canadian movie called
"I, Claudia."
oh my, my heart flutters
I love this song,I feel sorry for myself cause I didn't know about it until recently.My 2 years old hyperactive Cat seems to like this song too.(He smiles whenever I listen to the song)Thank you Canada!
Beautiful song on a beautiful day .and ...I heard an ethereal piano yesterday , looked as good as an old motorbike
I found this again.... Let me cry in peace.
...makes me think of my children's voices when they were babies...
They have a very unique sound. Enjoyed it very much.....
There is something about that song that makes me feel good... :)
I totally LOVE how this song ends. From 3:35 on. Such a tease to make me want to play it again.....and again.................and....again :)
Those lines are from an old Pink Floyd song
Why aren't there more likes? Some people don't know beauty when they hear it.
I saw this video forever ago on showtime in Canada and loved the song ever since. I love that UA-cam allows stuff like this to be available at my fingertips!
Of course this clearly reminds of Simon and Garfuncle.
Very very charming, moving and beautiful. Thank you, Girls!
Someone else said that and I don’t see the similarity at all. This is bluegrass and that is not. There are no mandolins, violins or banjos on Paul Simon’s tracks. Or Simon and Garfunkel.
Just heard this today. It's such a happy song
This is my little brother's favourite song. He said it reminds him of my daughter's Tanya and Lacey, his niece's, who he loved so much. Three days ago he OD on something and is currently on life support. Later today they'll be harvesting his great big loving heart and other organs to save other lives. RIP my beloved brother 💔
Oh my goodness, my heart goes out to you
They`re playing the Winnipeg Folk Festival,in July.It may be their only date for another 3 yrs,so get up there.Winnipeg is close to America.
Thanks Louie Theroux and Exotic Joe. What a gem.
People! Tell me why I love folk music or something like this. I mean it doesn't have billion of viewers and its the best. So, what? I'm not a speaker of the English so doeas the music but let me hope that everyone in the world likes this.
lol when i first heard this on skins, i thought they were saying "the little-ass birds sing the pretty-ass songs"....but now it all makes sense. haha i love this song!
are you serious?! i heard it on weeds, how cool! do u remember what episode?
lovely song and so great to see the footage of Washbord Lisa in New Orleans - she was a jewel !
This is an amazing song.
Its one of those beautiful happenings... if you dont catch it......it will just flutter away.. and why do you want to catch it in the first place...... well lets just say the muse (or muses) shall never be caught....... thats the love ov The Be Good Good Tanyas....
The little ass birds sing the pretty ass songs.
pretty ass song indeed! good comment bro
Lol ok that made me laugh
I heard the same think first time I heard this song. I like our version better.
I'm glad to know that I was not the only one who thought that! Hahaha
just want to play this in the old Bongo campervan and just keep driving f*** this Lockdown
I first heard this song on the Johnny Walker show on BBC radio 2 back in 1999. I thought it was brilliant and bought their CD Blue Horse which this track comes from and it was brilliant. I would definately recommend it.
best song of all the songs if you're sad and sad enough to hear these littlest birds sing and not so sad that you can't hear 'em and I hope you dance or at least wriggle your toes with glee and I hope you'll stand you'll stand with me because we we are all together we are in this together and if we have the good we have each other even if we are alone and if the worst thing is people
then the best thing is people too.
be happy my lovelies. if not today then another day.
but be happy.
What a beautiful poem.
@@flowersafeheart thank you! I had forgotten it, but I like it. :)
I hope you're happy.
thank you zellars for using this song in your spring time ad so many years ago. i dont know what i'd be without it.
Beautiful little tune. The last lyrics caught me by surprise tho... They're from a song on Pink Floyd's Saucer Full of Secrets LP. A very old album when Syd Barret was with them. Jugband Blues. I believe Barret wrote it.
OMG CMT and MuchMoreMusic used to play this in the morning before school when I was in grade 8 OMG childhood!!!!
Why I found this band so late?? I was waiting them from ages...
Beautiful vocals and great harmonies!
The littlest birds sings the prettiest songs 😊
my friend put this on a mixed tape for me 8 years ago, it is now our wee song, I love it sooooo much :D
Really like this song, & this offical video, and adore the quote of Syd Barrett from early Pink Floyd's Jugband Blues (himself adapting a lyric from itself an older song).
Simply beautiful lyrics and music! Thank you.IT's nice to see what fun the girls sing.
Traveling myself and my summer days have long past. Started singing this in the morning when I am hopeful and waitin around to die when the road is rougher. But I have a good man who is around when he can with hands so warm and strong I think he could have built the Colorado mountains I love.. the universe has a strange sense of humor. But I don’t forget my blessins.
Just a few songs are always with you.- Forever in my heart!!!
Never fails to cheer me up!!
Gotta be NOLA! What a sweet upbeat ditty!!
one of my favorites of all your songs. luv marylou
2010! no way!! this takes me back to the mid 90's when I was smoking an lisnin to blind melon an had no worries like drumpf an brexit
Thank you for that reminisence x
the little-ass birds singning pretty-ass songs
thanks nettwerkmusic for the posting of this ever so sweet song from the Tanyas. Such wonderful harmonies and great playing.
I knew just a few seconds into this video that I was going to love it. The Style and Harmony is uplifting to my soul. I love the visual creativity and the footage that is used throughout... love the group and the song. It makes me feel like I am sitting with them on the stairs with a couple of spoons, just jammin' along.
My Heartfelt Thanks.

One Love. One World.
Sweetest voices. Simple , prettt music! Can’t help playing it over and over!
Excellent talents you have. Great voices. Also birds are cool to watch.
Great song - love the harmony and the instrumentals!
Comforting. As it was when I first heard it, nearly 20 years ago.
Saw them at folk fest in Winnipeg 23 years ago …!!
Just the most wonderful female singing out there.
Another band that I've discovered while watching a quality U.S TV show, this time Breaking Bad where I heard a cover of Waitin' Around To Die' and I needed to hear more so i came here listened to 'Littlest Birds' and immediately fell in love with it!
This was FANTASTIC!!!! I Loved It!!! 💞💜♥️💞
What a sound!
Love this happy melody . Makes me feel like dancing. :))
Amazing. So stoked there is an official video for this great song.
That is pure magic and the video is tasty soul food too! Sweetness.
Beautiful. Great song all around
I remember when this song was in a Zellers commercial in '05.
I love y'all.
Way up in the sky Love their sound. Great!
A great band and beautiful music
Thank you
love the syd barret quote at the end
Adore that on the box set I bought for my mum (she changed here mind a few years later later about keeping it after listening to several times then decided she need to declutter some discs & gave it back to me to either keep, sell, or charity shop) where I discovered this song, gives an extra credit to either Syd Barrett or mentions that the "I don't care if the sun don't shine...I'll do my loving in the winter" comes from either Pink Floyd's Jugband Blues & or credits that it was written by Syd This is buried in the tiny print credits for disc 3, the disc they appear on as one of the few more modern tracks on the 3 disc box set The Very Best of Country Gold (released back in 2003!).
Best song ever
Love it love it love it.
Syd Barrett FTW. The last verse took me by surprise.
TBGT - what an Awesome sound!!!! i'm spreading the word.
First time I heard this lovely song I heard, "Little ass birds sing pretty ass songs". I blame the car stereo :-)
