Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blackbird, blackbird
Singing blues all day
Right outside my door
[Verse 2]
Blackbird, blackbird
I gotta be on my way
To where the sun shines once more
[Verse 3]
I pack up all my cares and woes
Here I go, singing low
Bye-bye, blackbird
[Verse 4]
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet and so is she
Bye-bye, blackbird
[PreChorus]
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
[Chorus]
Now, make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye-bye
[PreChorus]
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
[Chorus]
Oh, make my bed and light the light
'Cause I'll be home late tonight
Blackbird
Oh, blackbird, ooh
Blackbird, bye-bye
