Tree Of Birds Lyrics - Sonny James

In a desert town the desert sunbeam 

Down on a small boy laying sick in bed 

It burned his fevered brow so much she witched somehow 

But the sun was the shade tree instead 

I chanced the whippoorwill which throne is windowsill 

And overheard the boy's fevered plea 

He whippoorwilled a cry to feathered friends near by 

And an old time at all they made a tree 

A tree of birds, a bird tree 

Soon the tree started singing merrily 

Chirrup chirrup twee twee 

Get on your feet, sweetly sang a tree of bird 

When the little boy heard that lovely song 

He looked all around and to his surprise 

There was a wondrous tree a whinnying singing tree 

A tree of birds flying right before his weary eyes 

With their little wings they kept cooling things 

Till his fever broke and ill may flow away 

The boy has tried to tell how birds made him well 

But no one believes him to this say 

A tree of birds, a bird tree 

Soon the tree started singing merrily 

Chirrup chirrup twee twee 

Get on your feet, sweetly sang a tree of bird 

(A tree of bird) 

A tree of bird
