Gonna pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go singin' low,
Bye, bye blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me.
Sugar is sweet, so is he.
Bye, bye blackbird.
No one here can love or understand me,
Oh what a hard luck stories they all hand me.
So make my bed, light the light,
I'll arrive late tonight.
Blackbird, bye bye.
[Instrumental]
Gonna pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go singin' low,
Bye, bye blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me.
Sugar is sweet, so is he.
Bye, bye blackbird.
No one here can love or understand me,
Oh what a hard luck stories they all hand me.
So make my bed, light the light,
I'll arrive late tonight.
Blackbird, bye bye.
