1) My mistress is dead and I cannot sing She has left me and we���ve parted forever; She���s gone to abide with her heavenly King, Shall I ne���er see her again, no never. 
Her last words to me were both said and lone, I was perched by her side of the bed, She���d said to me Birdie I���m going home, When her gentle voice stayed she was dead. 
2) I���ll sing nevermore my mistress is gone, I will lead a lone life in my sorrow, I���ll never again see her as time pases on; Though my grief like today is tomorrow. 
Did I only know where her cold grave lies, I would pay my tribute of love; I���d there drop my tears loves tend���rest tie, And I���d watch tho her spirit���s above. 
Chorus: Oh Birdie hush! You worry me, How kindly the words were spoken; Were she with me I���d happy be, But now my heart is broken. 
3) I���ll never forget the words she last said, As she lay in her death bed while weeping; She said that she wished, when she should be dead, That I over her grave would be sleeping. 
But I never shall find the sacred place, Where my dear little mistress lies sleeping; And never again shall I see her face, And never cease my weeping (Chorus) </pre> </div></body> </html>
