lyrics

Whitethroat is a little bird
That can break my heart without a word
He sings a song of streams I've crossed
Paths I've walked, and love I've lost

Whitethroat sings the lonesome song
Stays a day then travels on
Past Winter, Trego, and Oxbow
Ojibwa, Couderay, and Osseo
To Big Bear, North Star, Thrush and Moon
Through Sun and Storm you'll be home soon

Whitethroat sings the lonesome song
Stays a day then drifts along
Like mist on the meadow, wind on the tree
Please don't fly stay with me

Whitethroat sings the lonesome song
Stays a day then travels on
To a little old shack on Hoover Line
Where the flowers are yours and the stars are mine

Whitethroat sings the lonesome song
Stays a day then moves along
To my friends Eugene, May and Bill
Asleep by Superior, high on a hill

Goodbye bird we have to part
I can't come now so take my heart
To a little old shack on Hoover Line
Where the days are long and the folks are kind

Whitethroat teach me the lonesome song
How to fly, let me come along
To a little old shack on Hoover Line
And the ones I'll love 'til the end of time
