'Tennessee Bird Walk'

A lovely song from UT days (1970) by Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan, shown here on TV with Ralph Emery and Tanya Tucker (YouTube). Lyrics



Memorable for the image of "bald-headed birds" walking along the highway if we take away their birdbaths and chirping:
Oh, remember me, my darling when spring is in the air
And the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere
When you see them walking southward in their dirty underwear.
The logic, if that's the word for it, is inescapable.
