red-winged blackbird

(c) 1999 David Francey, Laker Music

Chorus:

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird down my road

*

1. He’ll be there beside the river

When winter finally breaks its bones

He’ll be king among the rushes

He’ll be master of his home

*

2.  Safe as Moses in the rushes

Builds his home on the river wide

Every time I hear him singing

Makes me feel like spring inside

*

3. He’ll be in there singing his heart out

He’ll be telling me stories, too

Of where he went to winter last year

And how he’s going back there, too
