Bluebird, if you get to Jackson

Please fly down on Shannon Street

Bluebird, if you get to Jackson

Please fly down on Shannon Street

I don't want you to quit flyin'

'Till you find Miss 'Daisy' Belle for me

Lacey Belle, she maybe not be at home

Please knock upon her do'

Well, she may be at home

Please knock upon her do'

Now, she will be maybe wit'

The next do' neighbor

Bluebird, you don't know

Look-a-here

Ooh, look-a-here, look-a-here

Look-a-here, babe

I mean, look-a-here, look-a-here

I love you, Lacey Belle

Sh-she doesn't know where, I can't tell

Bluebird, bluebird

Where in the world, you been so long?

Bluebird, bluebird

Where in the world, you been so long?

You must-a been out in Texas

If you had, yo' hat is on

Gon' sing this time

Ain't gon' sing no mo'

'Long time 'at he work, last boy'

I'm 'on sing this time

Ain't gon' sing 'em no mo'

Next time I sail

Be right where I wants to go.
