Bye Bye Blackbird

Song Description

This song has been haunting me for a long time so when it entered public domain I just had to cover it. A nice little blues shuffle just seemed to fit.

Song Length 3:55 Genre Blues - General, Blues - Traditional

Lyrics

black bird, black bird singing them blues all day
black bird black bird what you trying to say
All through the winter you just hung around
now I think your just tryin to bring me down

Pack up all my cares and woes
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye, blackbird
somewhere some one 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, light my light, I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye

nice loose blues song, vocal has a personality to it, not pristine but a bit off which suits blues... it is odd in a good way, a sad "goodbye" song that is done with a funny aspect in terms of the feel of the song.... this could have a place in a movie scene of someone leaving and a loose kind of unique funny performance of a song supports the scene...

Lyrics Mort Dixson Music Ray Henderson
Performance Scott Jordan Label Ravensong Studios
