Lyrics

Blackbird, blackbird, singing the blues all day
Right outside of my door
Blackbird, blackbird, why do you sit and say
There's no sunshine in store?
All through 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 cares and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet and so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird
No one here can love and understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye
Bluebird, bluebird, calling me far away
I've been longing for you
Bluebird, bluebird, this is my lucky day
Skies are turning to blue
I'm like a flower that's fading here
Where every hour is one long tear
Bluebird, bluebird, this is my lucky day
Now my dreams will come true
Pack up all my cares and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet and so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird
No one here can love and understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye
