Lyrics:
Whit! Whit! I Wander Not! [Version (a)]:
A little bird, its happy flight
Far o'er the land was winging
When in a green and shady grove
It heard another singing
Whit whit whit I wander not
Whit whit whit I wander not
O come to me, come to me, my love
Come to me, come to me, come to me!
Whit whit whit I wander not
O come to me, come to me, come to me!
So, in that green shady grove
These little birds so loving
Soon built a nest amid the leaves
And thought no more of roving
Whit whit whit I wander not
Whit whit whit I wander not
O come to me, come to me, my love
Come to me, come to me, come to me!
Whit whit whit I wander not
O come to me, come to me, come to me!
A little bird, its happy flight
Far o'er the land was winging
When in a green and shady grove
It heard another singing
Whit whit whit I wander not
Whit whit whit I wander not
O come to me, come to me, my love
Come to me, come to me, come to me!
Whit whit whit I wander not
O come to me, come to me, come to me!
So, in that green shady grove
These little birds so loving
Soon built a nest amid the leaves
And thought no more of roving
Whit whit whit I wander not
Whit whit whit I wander not
O come to me, come to me, my love
Come to me, come to me, come to me!
Whit whit whit I wander not
O come to me, come to me, come to me!
The Song:
In order to make Song Reader more authentic, Beck filled it out with fragments of songs and melodies, as well as fictional album collections and song titles. On the back of "Saint Dude," there is an album listed called Male Quartette Collection, the greatest book ever compiled.
Many of the song titles of this collection are references to older sheet music-era songs, and this is no exception. "Whit, Whit Whit! I Wander Not" is from 1862, and is the English translation of a German song. It says it is a "celebrated bird song." You can see the sheet music for it here.
