red winged black bird
Select language to translate this lyric
Oh cant you see that pretty little bird
Singing with all his heart and soul
He's got a blood red spot on his wing
And all the rest of him's black as coal
Of all the colors i ever did see
Red and black are the ones i dread
Oh when a man spills blood on the coal
They carry him down from the coalmines dead
Oh fly away you redwinged bird
Leave behind the miners wife
She'll dream about you when your gone
She'll dream about you all her life
Oh cant you see that pretty little bird
Singing with all his heart and soul
He's got a blood red spot on his wing
And all the rest of him's black as coal
