Winter's Come and Gone - Gillian Welch

Oh little red bird

Come to my window sill

Been so lonesome

Shaking that morning chill

Oh little red bird

Open your mouth and say

Been so lonesome

Just about flown away

So long now I’ve been out

In the rain and snow

But winter’s come and gone

A little bird told me so

Oh little blue bird

Pearly feather breast

Five cold nickels all I got left

Oh little blue bird

What am I gonna do

Five cold nickels

Ain’t gonna see me through

So long now I’ve been out

In the rain and snow

But winter’s come and gone

A little bird told me so

Oh little black bird

On my wire line

Dark as trouble

In this heart of mine

Poor little black bird

Sings a worried song

Dark as trouble

'Til winter’s come and gone

So long now I’ve been out

In the rain and snow

But winter’s come and gone

A little bird told me so

So long now I’ve been out

In the rain and snow

But winter’s come and gone

A little bird told me so
