[Verse 1]
Oh little redbird, come to my window sill
Been so lonesome, shaking that morning chill
Oh little redbird, open your mouth and say
Been so lonesome, just about flown away

[Chorus]
So long now I've been out
In the rain and snow
But winter's come and gone
A little bird told me so

[Verse 2]
Oh little bluebird, pearly feather breast
Five cold nickels all I got left
Oh little bluebird, what am I gonna do?
Five cold nickels ain't gonna see me through

[Chorus]
So long now I've been out
In the rain and snow
But winter's come and gone
A little bird told me so

[Verse 3]
Oh little blackbird on my wire line
Dark as trouble in this heart of mine
Poor little blackbird sings a worried song
Dark as trouble till winter's come and gone
[Chorus]
So long now I've been out
In the rain and snow
But winter's come and gone
A little bird told me so

[Chorus]
So long now I've been out
In the rain and snow
But winter's come and gone
A little bird told me so
