- Verse:
- Blackbird, Blackbird, Singing
the blues all day,
- Right out side of my door.
- Blackbird, Blackbird, Why
do you sit and say,
- "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.
-
- Chorus:
- 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 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.
