[Intro]
Now, this is another children's play song
And the children is playin' and they done got warm now
And they're playin' and what they been doing has got pretty good to 'em
They got a little speed up
Now they gonna sing, they playing in the ring
They singing and playin' "Red Bird Soon In The Morning"
As they play "Red Bird Soon In The Morning," everybody's goin' 'round the ring
Nobody inside the ring and they gon' swing and sing this time
You swing my partner and I'll swing yours
And keep all the way 'round the ring till you get back home, then you settle down
They gon' sing "Red Bird"
