Climb on de summer sky Over de mountain high— Out of de nes' togeder, Broder an' sister too, Out on de summer wedder W'en de w'ole worl' is new— Over de mountain, over de mountain, Hear dem call, Hear dem call—poor leetle rossignol! Broder an' sister too, W'en de w'ole worl' is new— No leetle heart was lighter, No leetle bird so gay, Never de sun look brighter Dan he is look to-day— Over de mountain, over de mountain, Hear dem call, Hear dem call—poor leetle rossignol! No leetle bird so gay, Dan he is look to-day— W'y are dey leave de nes' dere W'ere dey was still belong? Better to stay an' res' dere Until de wing is strong. Over de mountain, over de mountain, Hear dem call, Hear dem call—poor leetle rossignol! W'ere dey was still belong? Until de wing is strong.

Singin' deir way along—
