Lyrics
- Oh sweetheart mine, it’s wedding time
The whole world seems to say
The summer days are fading
Into loveland let us stray
Birds sing merrily, High up in each tree
And, sweetheart, they sing messages
Just for you and me
Chorus
The birds are humming, “go feather your nest”
Tomorrow’s coming so feather your nest
It’s time for mating, no use hesitating
The parson is waiting, he knows just whether it’s best
In a home for two, love, together we’ll rest
Where only true love, can weather the test
Don’t be delaying, the organ is playing
The whole world is saying, “Go feather your nest”
- Your heart is beating peacefully
When friends are fond and true
The world is filled with gladness
When the one you love loves you
Mountains or the sea over we may roam
The path that leands to love, sweet love
Leads to home sweet home
