Bye Bye Blackbird 1926

Blackbird, Blackbird,
singing the blues all day
Right outside of my door.
Blackbird, Blackbird,
Why do you sit and stay
There's no sunshine in store.
All thru the winter
you hung around.
Now I begin to feel
homeward bound.
Blackbird, Blackbird,
gotta be on my way
where there's sunshine galore.

Pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go,
Singing low,
Bye bye blackbird,
Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye bye
Blackbird!
No one here can love
or understand me,
Oh, what hard luck stories
they all hand me,
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll be home late tonight,
Blackbird bye bye.

Pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go,
Singing low,
Bye bye blackbird,
Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye bye
Blackbird!
No one here can love
or understand me,
Oh, what hard luck stories
they all hand me,
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll be home late tonight,
Blackbird bye bye.

Bluebird, Bluebird,
calling me far away
I've been longing for you.
Bluebird, Bluebird,
What do I hear you say
Skies are turning to blue.
I'm like a flower
that's fading here,
Where ev'ry hour
is one long tear.
Bluebird, Bluebird,
this is my lucky day
Now my dreams
will come true.

Pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go,
Singing low,
Bye bye blackbird,
Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye bye
Blackbird!
No one here can love
or understand me,
Oh, what hard luck stories
they all hand me,
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll be home late tonight,
Blackbird bye bye.

Pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go,
Singing low,
Bye bye blackbird,
Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye bye
Blackbird!
No one here can love
or understand me,
Oh, what hard luck stories
they all hand me,
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll be home late tonight,
Blackbird bye bye.
