A beautiful quail on a branch near by,
she\'s perched there crying \"chi-ca-go\".
while there\'s a hawk circling the sky,
she cries out once more \"chi-ca-go\".
Across the way is her handsome mate,
to her nervously he\'s saying \"be-care-ful\".
\"Pit-pit\" he calls at an alarming rate,
Then again he says to her \"be-care-ful\".
A great grey chest takes to the air,
shortly she follows crying \"chi-ca-go\".
Grasped in talons, one from the pair,
she repeatedly screeches \"chi-ca-go\".
Frightened and heartbroken she mourns,
crying out to him constantly, \"where\'d-ya-go\".
Into the rose bush with prickly thorns,
taking cover as she\'s hiccuping \"where\'d-ya-go\".
