lyrics

Have you seen the Bird Woman,
Of the Old Town?
She walks around holding a crow,

Have you seen the Bird Woman,
Of the Old Town?
‘Cause I don’t see her anymore.


Have you been in the White Lilly,
Where she sits down?
In her dress of purple and rose,

Have you been in the White Lilly,
Where she sits down?
Sprinkling her crumbs out by the road,


She lives in a palace but she’s dressed like a drunk,
At the top of the old George Road,

She lives in a palace but she’s dressed like a drunk,
It just goes to show you never know.


There is a poster in her window of a cat,
And it’s been missing for quite some time,
And now the neighbours are all wondering where she’s gone to,
I really hope that she is,
I really hope that she is fine.


Have you seen the Bird Woman,
Of the Old Town?
She wore a full-length gentleman’s coat,

Have you seen the Bird Woman,
Hanging around?
She never had a frown for anyone,


Funny how some people just disappear,
When it seems they’ll never go,

Maybe she’s made a nest in some other town,
Or maybe she is gone where Heaven knows.


So if you see the Bird Woman,
Of the Old Town,
Wont you stop and say hello?

And tell her from me that we all miss her so,
And that we hope that she comes home,
And that we hope that she comes home,

And that we hope that she comes home.
