1.What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning a great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded
On the pages of God's Holy Word.
2. All the other birds are flocking 'round her
And she is despised by the squad
But the great speckled bird in the Bible
Is one with the great church of God.
3. All the other churches are against her
They envy her glory and fame
They hate her because she is chosen
And has not denied Jesus' name.
4. Desiring to lower her standard
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teachings
But really they find no mistake.

She's going to leave by and by
When the trumpet shall sound in the morning
She'll rise and go up in the sky.
6. In the presence of all her despisers
With a song never uttered before
She will rise and be gone in a moment
Till the great tribulation is o'er.
7. I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am proud that my name is on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
The face of my Savior to look.
8. When He cometh descending from heaven
On the cloud that He writes in His Word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of that great speckled bird.

Roy Acuff Great Speckled Bird Recording details & track overview
[GREAT SPECKLE BIRD]{1}
Written by: Roy Carter & Rev. Guy Smith-1936{2}

Single: 1937
Album: 1958{6}
{1}The title of the song comes from the Bible verse, Jeremiah 12:9 "Mine
heritage is unto me as a speckled bird ..." Most versions of the Bible say
that it is a speckled bird, however for some reason, the title of the 1958
album referenced in {Note 5} below is, "Great Speckle Bird," without the
'd,' and Acuff pronounces it speckle. Almost every other reference that I've
seen to this song considers the word "Speckled."
{2}The tune is the same as the traditional melody used in the folk song "I
Am Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes," originally recorded in the 1920s. The
same melody was later used in the 1952 country hit "The Wild Side of Life,"
sung by Hank Thompson, and the even more successful answer song{7}
performed by Kitty Wells called, "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky-Tonk Angel.....MORE.....(all Great Speckled Bird track/recording details) ←
