She's Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage - John D. Foster/Avon Cities Skiffle Group/Fannie Davis/Louis Metcalf[00:00:00]

The ballroom was filled with fashion's throng[00:00:17]

It lean with a thousand lights[00:00:21]

And there was a woman who passed along[00:00:25]

The fairest of all the sights[00:00:28]

A girl to her lover then softly sighed[00:00:32]

There's riches at her command[00:00:36]

But she married for wealth not for love he cried[00:00:39]

Though she lives in a mansion grand[00:00:43]

She's only a bird in a gilded cage[00:00:47]

A beautiful sight to see[00:00:51]

You may think she's happy and free from care[00:00:55]

She's not what she seems to be[00:00:58]

It is sad when you think of wasted life[00:01:02]

For youth cannot mate with age[00:01:06]

Her beauty was sold for an old man's gold[00:01:10]

She's a bird in a gilded cage[00:01:13]

I stood in a churchyard just at eve[00:01:33]

When sunset adorned the west[00:01:36]

And saw the people who'd come to grieve[00:01:40]

For loved ones who laid at rcst[00:01:43]

A tall marble monument marked the grave[00:01:47]

For one who'd been fashion's queen[00:01:51]

And I thought She was better than lying at rest[00:01:54]

Than to have people say when seen[00:01:58]

She's only a bird in a gilded cage[00:02:01]

A beautiful sight to see[00:02:05]

You may think she's happy and free from care[00:02:09]

She's not what she seems to be[00:02:12]

It is sad when you think of wasted life[00:02:16]

For youth cannot mate with age[00:02:20]

Her beauty was sold for an old man's gold[00:02:24]

She's a bird in a gilded cage[00:02:27]
