Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Blackbird, blackbird
Singing the blues all day
Right outside of my door
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 or 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
(Verse 2)
Blackbird, blackbird
Calling me far away
I've been longing for you
Bluebird, bluebird
This is my lucky day
Now my dreams will come true
(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 or 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
