Blue Bird Blues

Now, bluebird, bluebird
 Please take this letter down south for me
 Now, bluebird, bluebird
 Please take this letter down south for me
 Now, you can tell my baby I'm up here in St. Louis
 Oh, but I'm just as blue as I can be
 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
 Well, but I don't want you to stop flyin'
 Until you find Miss Lacey Belle for me
 Now bluebird, when you find Miss Lacey Belle
 I want you to please give her my best regard
 Now bluebird, when you find Miss Lacey Belle
 Oh, give her my best regard
 Well, said you can tell her I'm up here in St. Louis
 But these times is awful doggone hard
 (harmonica & guitar)
 'Play it for me, you know how to ask her'
 'Sing it about my baby, too'
 Now bluebird, she may not be at home
 But please knock on her do'
 Now bluebird, she may not be at home
 But please knock on her do'
 Well, said she may be right across the street
 Visitin' her next door neighbor, you know.
