|
Down came a blackbird
|
Set on a fence
|
Talkin' in riddles
|
Makin' no sense
|
'Cause she's gone
|
You're baby's gone
|
|
Down came a blackbird
|
Perched on pole
|
Took out a mirror
|
And said, Son, behold
|
'Cause she's gone
|
Your baby's gone
|
|
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink
|
Head hangin' over the kitchen sink
|
Gone like the wind through a cabin door
|
Never gonna blow that way no more
|
Gone like the song of a mockingbird
|
Laughing at every little thing he heard
|
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke
|
She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke
|
She's gone
|
Your baby's gone
|
|
Down came a blackbird
|
Set by the fire
|
Said the future's comin' at you like a freight train
|
And you're walkin' the wire
|
Cause she's gone
|
Your baby's gone
|
|
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink
|
Head hangin' over the kitchen sink
|
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke
|
She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke
|
She's gone
|
Your baby's gone
|
|
She says she doesn't want a man who hangs around the house
|
Who doesn't say a word unless he's shootin' off his mouth
|
There's got to be a better way to be a lovin' wife
|
If she stays here she'll end up his waitress for life
|
|
Down came a blackbird
|
Set on a fence
|
Talkin' in riddles
|
And makin' absolutely perfect sense
|
Cause she's gone
|
Your baby's gone
|
|
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink
|
Head hangin' over the kitchen sink
|
Gone like the wind through a cabin door
|
Never gonna blow that way no more
|
Gone like the song of a mockingbird
|
Laughing at every little thing he heard
|
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke
|
She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke
|
She's gone
|
Your baby's gone
|
|
Down came a blackbird
|
Down came a blackbird
|
