Intro: Verse 1: oh little red bird come to my window sill been so lonesome shaking that morning chill Oh little red bird open your mouth and say been so lonesome just about flown away so long now i’ve been out in the rain and snow but winter’s come and gone and a   little bird told me so Verse 2: oh little blue bird pearly feather breast five cold nickels all that i got left oh little blue bird what am i gonna do five cold nickels ain’t gonna see me through Chorus Verse 3: oh little black bird on my wire line dark as trouble in this heart of mine oh little black bird sings a worried song dark as trouble til winters come and gone Chorus
