Lyrics

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 he
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, toodle-oo
Said boop-bah-doo-n-dee-da
Sha-doodly-ah-did-n-bee-doobee-doo-wee-wah
Here I go singin' low
Bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, and so is he
Bye, blackbird
No one here can love and understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories, they all hand me
You'd better make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye-bye
Good-bye
So long
Blackbird, bye-bye
Bye, blackbird
