Dolly Parton- Little Sparrow

lyrics:
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain
All ye maidens hede my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend
They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two
Chorus:
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain
If I were a little sparrow
O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him
Look into his lying eyes
I would flutter all around him
On my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain
I am not a little sparrow
I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover
And his evil cunning scheme
Repeat Chorus
All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh the sorrow never ends

Stephanie Sexton Thanks I've been looking for that version all day!

[@halfway2somewhere]

+Phillip D no problem. its on Spotify and a just audio version on KZbin , never heard of her before tonight but I've been listening to her stuff, its pretty cool. nice to see a guy appreciate good music (and PLL) you are like a unicorn :)

[@phild5089]

Stephanie Sexton I LOVE UNICORNS!! Thanks!

[@shakiMiki]

This woman will be listened to, long, long after we have left this world. Wonderful.

[@WinxClubTeamAvatar]

Heard this song in last night's PLL episode, absolutely loved it. Didn't know that Dolly sings it though, I adore her so much.

[@gianellasolimano104]

Same here

[@sibbald31]

not the PLL version. that was a singer named Baraka May

[@WinxClubTeamAvatar]

thanks, I was aware of that.

[@drouhin]

What an amazingly gifted singer and songwriter she is.

[@yu3p2x1]

A great song, sung by a great singer and songwriter. She has sustained her creativity from the age of about 5 to sixty-five. She's still writing them, singing them, playing them and performing them around different parts of the world. She's had a huge response on her latest Better Day tour in UK,IRL, and N.Europe, Australia. How she manages all this with Dollywood, her imagination library, movies and a thousand and one other things is down to dedication, talent and genius.

Never seen Pretty Little Liars, but I have seen this song bring tears to people's eyes. Gorgeous. Classic. Inspiring. Aching. Dolly is a genius.

Anyone listening to this now 2020? ...Amazing song amazing artist....love from kenya

[@JulieEvenson]

My sister Jill passed away when she was 38 years old, leaving behind 2 precious sons, one 6 and the other 2. She was a beautiful sparrow that is flying high now and has no pain! I miss her, but I'm so glad that she went home! Thank you for this beautiful song! I am amazed and have always loved you, Dolly! You are beautiful!

[@joycetilley3709]

Dolly you are one of my favorite singer's,for you are a true blue down to earth country girl.That's a rare thing to find in music today thank you Dolly for staying true to who you are God Bless You.

[@1psoas9]

THis song is old as the hills -- it's wonderful to hear it made to sound like it's new, but the saddest thing is, it's still news. "Come all ye fair and tendenr maidens, take warning how you court your man They'll break your hearts...."

[@michellechase4753]

I know Come All Ye Fair and Tender Maidens as Rue. My favourite version is by Ian Benzie. I heard it immediately in this song. I also hear parts of Silver Dagger. All very old songs.

[@kerryg100]

listen to that voice of an angel we bow down to your magnificent legand that is Dolly she has class............... greetings from IRELAND 😉

[@misspuppa]

[@jolenawaldrop2971]

[@daniwalter5303]

My friends have an advanced dance to this song so that brought me here

[@ashleyspencermusic]

I saw her perform this song last night in concert. It was completely mesmerizing!! She did it a very slowed down version a capella with her backup singers. The melody was captivating.

[@BLUEOHIO]

With Dolly's songs she can make you get up and dance or cry like a baby..Dolly is a gift from Heven!!

[@MrClintos]

my wife and i were so luck that last year we went to see dolly live in birmingham totaly blown away she realy is awsom a true living ledgend we love you dolly

[@BLUEOHIO]

I love all Dolly's hits but when she sings this song it grabs me by the heart!

[@1psoas9]

With respect to Dolly Parton, who gave this wonderful song a new lease on life -- but it is an OLD folk song. It enjoyed a wave of popularity in hte 50s, when Peter Paul and Mary sang it, and Aretha Franklin did a great version, called Tiny Sparrow

[@Cupcake-ct2kx]

In little sparrow dolly sounds amazing also she sounds amazing with the harmony in little sparrow

[@johncreighton5798]

More Dolly MAGIC!!!!

[@destinythompson3723]

PLL!!!! SEASON 7

[@Vagrarian]

Yesterday I found a little sparrow sitting on the sidewalk in the city, not moving but still alive. The poor thing was so fragile, trembling and frightened, and I picked him up and put him out of harm's way, under a bush. I went back today and he was dead. Probably nothing that could have been done, but at least it was shown some kindness before it died. That experience, and this song, show the importance of showing kindness and love.

[@zuppup1]

one of the saddest and most passionate songs i've ever heard... love you dolly.

[@Shastasnow]

Super haunting. Love listening to Dolly's stories.

[@josefnagy3426]

Sad tune, lovely tune. A masterpiece from Dolly. Had I this song on vinyl by this time the record would have been worn out.

[@GamblingKenny]

great country stuff ... like it

[@sibbald31]

this is not the PLL version. a singer named Baraka May is the singer on the show. although I still love this version (considering the other is impossible to find!)

[@marielyn9324]

I was searching for the PLL version me too

[@marielyn9324]

Thanks a lot Dareen

Wow. Just wow.

[@jannertfol]

Dolly's voice was made for a song like this. I wish she'd do more traditional music. It's not that she's not good at what she ordinarily does, but very few people can sing a song like this and get it across. I'd love to hear more. (Love the fiddle playing on this as well ...is it Stuart Duncan?)

[@itgetseasierlessitry]

Parton for me is the most enigmatic of all superstars, living or dead. With her sequins, big hair, cleavage, self effacing humour, the anthisesis of feminism, she has cleverly built up a wall (and an empire) between her and us. We know her genius, but do we know who Dolly is? Is her image a two-fingers up response to a still patriarchal society? No other performer for me invokes so many questions and contradictions.
