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

[Chorus]
So long I’ve been out in the rain and snow
But the winter's come and gone, a little bird told me so

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

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

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