oh little red bird come to my window sill
been so lonesome shaking that morning chill
Oh little red bird open your mouth and say
been so lonesome just about flown away
so long now i've been out in the rain and snow
but winter's come and gone and a
little bird told me so
oh little blue bird pearly feather breast
five cold nickels all that i got left
oh little blue bird what am i gonna do
five cold nickels ain't gonna see me through
Chorus
oh little black bird on my wire line
dark as trouble in this heart of mine
oh little black bird sings a worried song
dark as trouble til winters come and gone
Chorus
