Blue Bird Blues Lyrics

(Sonny Boy Williamson I (John Lee))



My 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, that you can tell her I'm up here in St. Louis but these times is awful doggone hard



Now bluebird, she may not be at home but please, knock on her door

Now bluebird, she may not be at home but please knock on her door

Well , but she might be right across the street, visitin' her next door neighbor, you know
