Red-Winged Blackbird

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

He'll be there beside the river

When winter finally breaks its bones

He'll be king among the rushes

He'll be master of his home

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

Safe as Moses in the rushes

Builds his home on the river wide

Every time I hear him singing

Makes me feel like Spring inside

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

He'll be in there singing his heart out

He'll be telling me stories too

Of where he went to winter last year

Of how he's going back there too

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road
