Redwing

I heard the voice of the Redwing Crying in the air I turned around to look for her But she just wasn't there I heard the name of my baby I was crying it all night long I turned around to reach for her But she's already gone Oh the redwing, she's a pretty thing I like the way she cries But most of all I like the way she sings And just like my baby, she's done come and gone I wish that redwing and my baby would come home First time I saw the redwing, winter was comin' on She was flying high and headed south So free and all alone The last time I saw my baby She was walkin' out in the summer rain I tried my best to keep her here But then the winter came Oh the redwing, she's a pretty thing I like the way she cries But most of all I like the way she sings And just like my baby, she's done come and gone I wish that redwing and my baby would come home I heard the voice of the Redwing Crying in the air No matter how I search for her She just isn't there I hear the name of my baby I been cryin' it all night long But she's flyin' high and headin' south So free and all alone Oh the redwing, she's a pretty thing I like the way she cries But most of all I like the way she sings And just like my baby, she's done come and gone I wish that redwing and my baby would come home Oh the redwing, she's a pretty thing I like the way she cries But most of all I like the way she sings And just like my baby, she's done come and gone I wish that redwing and my baby would come home I wish that redwing and my baby would come home I wish that redwing and my baby would come home
