Message To Martha (Kentucky Bluebird) - Jay & The Americans

Spread your wings for new orleans

Kentucky bluebird, fly away

And take a message to martha, message to martha

She sings each night in some cafe

In her search to find wealth and fame

I hear martha has gone and changed her name

It’s a year since she was here

Kentucky bluebird, fly away

And take a message to martha, message to martha

Tell her I miss her more each day

As her train pulled out down the track

Martha promised she’d soon be coming back

Oh tell her how my heart just breaks, in two

Since she journeyed far

And even though her dreams of fame fell through

To me she will always be a star

Spread your wings for new orleans

Kentucky bluebird, fly away

And take a message to martha, message to martha

Ask her to start for home today

When you find her please let her know

Rich or poor, I will always love her so Fly away, kentucky bluebird

Fly away, kentucky bluebird

Fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away…
