Pack up all my cares and woe,
Here I go, singing low,
Bye, bye, blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye, bye, blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me,
O what hard luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll arrive late tonight,
Blackbird, bye, bye.
Pack up all my cares and woe,
Here I go, singing low,
Bye, bye, blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye, bye, blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me,
O what hard luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll arrive late tonight,
Blackbird, bye, bye.
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll arrive late tonight,
Blackbird, bye, bye.
I say blackbird,
I say blackbird,
Blackbird, bye, bye.
Words: Mort Dixon; Melody: Ray Henderson, 1926.
