Bluebird, now, bluebird

Please take the letter down south for me

Bluebird, now, bluebird

Please take the letter down south for me

Now I don’t want you to quit flyin'

Until you find Miss. Lacey Belle for me

Now bluebird, when you get to Jackson

I want you to fly down on Shannon Street

Now bluebird when you get to Jackson

I want you to fly down on Shannon Street

Now I don’t want you to quit flyin', bluebird

Until you find Miss. Lacey Belle for me

Now bluebird, when you find Miss. Lacey Belle

I want you to give her my best regard

Bluebird, when you find Miss. Lacey Belle

You know that times is awful doggone hard
