Ho down down
| Ho down dee
| Red bird dancin
| In custody
| Goin down
| New Orleans
| Red bird dancin
| An a red bird sing
| Red bird sing
| Red bird do
| New Orleans
| An a red bird blue
| I been born
| An I'm gonna die
| Blood red wing
| You gonna make me fly
| Goin in
| A red bird den
| Ain't gonna
| Come out again
| Ho down down
| Ho down dee
| Red bird dancin
| In custody
|
| Ho down down
| Ho down dee
| Red bird dance
| A penitentiary
| A jailer stoned
| An he barred the door
| Red bird gone... yeah
| To fly no more
| Black crow see
| Black crow knew
| New Orleans is where
| The red bird flew
| I been born
| An I'm gonna die
| Blood red wing
| You gonna make me cry
| Rusty wing
| A daed dark thing
| Crows too loud now
| When the red bird sing
| Ho down down
| Ho down dee
| Red bird dance
| A penitentiary
|
