Pack up all my cares and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye bye, blackbird

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed, light my light, I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye

Awhile ago when I was young
I heard a song and heard it sung
(Bye bye, blackbird)
I don't know why it makes me sad
A happy song should make me glad
(Bye bye, blackbird)

Make my bed, light my light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye
