They [Am]say not far a[G]way, In fact u[Em]pon that [D]hill
They [Am]say that ther[G]e's a little g[Em]irl there[D] still
[Am]She wasn't r[G]aised like the [Em]other [D]kids
[Am]Miss Lynn, the [G]Snow Hen of [Em]Aus[Am]terlitz
[Am] [G] [Em] [Am]
[Am]The mother's [G]blind and keeps some [Em]birds as [D]pets
[Am]That her [G]baby is a [Em]human she for[D]gets
[Am]In a tiny wire [G]pen that little [Em]girl still [D]sits
[Am]Miss Lynn, the [G]Snow Hen of [Em]Aus[Am]terlitz
[Am]She must be [G]ten or el[D]even now
[D]I heard she's [Am]pretty but she [G]don't have all her [Am]wits
[Am]She is the [G]Snow Hen of [D]Au[G]ster[Am]litz
Not having really neither wings nor beak
She never learned to walk or speak
To the child, the mother never says a word
To communicate, this little girl, she chirps like a bird
All the birds around they taught the little girl their language
When she's not understood she starts to get real angry
So she waves her hands around just like they were her wings
Hope it when she's happy, you should hear her sing!
I'll leave the cage door open
We'll see how far she gets
She's known as the Snow Hen of Austerlitz
Kept like a pet in an old hen coop
The mother didn't beat her and she gave her food
Still pitiful no care shown but it's
The life of the Snow Hen of Austerlitz
A skinny thing with brittle glass-like bones
Was it wind in the trees or the Snow Hen's moans?
From pursed perch from that attic she flits
Miss Lynn, the Snow Hen of Austerlitz
She must be ten or eleven now
I heard she's pretty but she don't have all her wits
She is the Snow Hen of Austerlitz
I'll leave the cage door open
We'll see how far she gets
She's known as the Snow Hen of Austerlitz
