Verse : same picking as intro

                                                   
Oh! my mama, she gave me these feathered breaths 
                                                   
Oh! my mama, she told me, "Use your voice, my little bird!"
                                                   
She said "sing! sing! sing! sing! sing! sing! melodies"
                                                   
And she sang! sang! sang! sang! sang! those melodies
                                                   
Oh! my mama, she did give me fancy feet I'll be dancin' on
                                                             
And I'll tap, tap, tap my toes into those creaking floor boards

                                           
Oh! My mama she took my little hand and held on tight
                                              
All the mamas give the waters of their wells!
                                               
All the mamas give the babies this very dirt we're walking on
                                                
Oh! My mama, she gave me these feathered breaths 
                                                      
And your mama, she gave you these feathered breaths too

                                
And when the sky drops all those feathers
                          
And when the birds sing in the morning

I'll be a mama

I'll have a daughter

I'll be a mama

I'll have a daughter

And I'll give her melodies

I'll give her melodies

And I'll give her melodies

I'll give her melodies

And I'll give her melodies

I'll give her melodies

And I'll give her melodies

I'll give her melodies
                             
And She'll be my little bird
                 
And then she'll fly

she'll fly

she'll fly
