Lyric Blackbird Blues (1927)

Blues flew on the mountain, but they didn t stay long.
Blues flew on the mountain, but they didn t stay long.
You can tell by the song I m singing, I didn t treat it wrong.

My baby left me, didn t say goodbye.
My baby left me, didn t say goodbye.
I asked the nesting blackbird, to tell me the reason why.

If I was a blackbird, I d pack my troubles on my back.
If I was a blackbird, I d pack my troubles on my back.
I would leave this world, and I never would look back.

Lordy, send me somebody, don t want nobody but me.
Lordy, send me somebody, don t want nobody but me.
Because these blackbird blues, Lord it sure burned me.
