Lyrics

Blackbird blackbird bye, bye, bye
Blackbird bye, bye, bye
Pack up all my cares and woes
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird
When 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 lights
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
But I hope I’ll never have to wonder
Make my bed light the lights I’ll arrive real late tonight
Saying blackbird bye bye bye
If that blackbird can swing
Why does he bring a sad and
Melancholy song to break the swing of things
Does he know about the blues that he brings
He sits alone at night waiting for the morning light
So please please blackbird shoe away and take away your troubles
In your morning flight
No one here can love and understand me
But oh, women always laugh at me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Blackbird, bye
Pack up all my cares and woes
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye bye blackbird
And no one here is gonna love me
They’re never gonna love me, never understand me
And so I begged her just
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye
