Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pack up all my cares and woe
Feelin' low
Here I go
I say bye (Bye)
(Bye)
Whoa, blackbird, now (Blackbird)
[Verse 2]
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet
So is she
(Bye) Said bye
Yeah (Bye)
Bye bye, blackbird (Blackbird)
[Verse 3]
No one seems to love or understand me, now
And what hard luck stories they keepin' handin' me, yeah
Well, somebody shines the light
I'm comin' on home tonight, now
(Bye) I want to say bye bye
(Bye)
Whoa (Blackbird)
Ah, blackbird
[Verse 4]
(Bye)
(Bye)
(Blackbird)
(Bye)
(Bye)
(Blackbird)
[Verse 5]
Nobody seems to love
Or understand me
And oh hard luck stories
They keep on handin' me
Keep on handin' me
I say, well somebody has the light
Yes, I'm comin' on home tonight
(Bye) Ooh, Lord, yeah, Lordy
I wanna say
(Blackbird) Bye bye, blackbird
Lord have mercy
[Verse 6]
About lovin' now
