Bluebird (1974)
[Intro]
Take this letter down south for me, right down to Atlanta, Georgia, on Arbiter Street. (There)
Haha, on Arbiter Avenue (Arbiter Avinue, street)
You know what else is pretty good?
The main street, the main drain, that's where all the pimps hang out at
Haha, (You want to make him start this?)
Like y'all started, like you did just now
Got to
Move it!
Now watch this:
Bluebird, bluebird, take this letter down South for me
Bluebird, bluebird, bluebird, take this letter down South for me
I don't want you to stop flying, you find Ms. Lady Bell for me
Got-dog
She may not be at home, but fly down for me
She may not be at home, she might be, 'cross the street
Friends with the next door neighbor, you know
Now bluebird, please give her this message for me
And bluebird, bluebird, tell her: Come back to California
Because I miss her so bad
Now bluebird, bluebird, tell her: Come back to California
'Cause I miss her so bad
Don't stop flying don't stop flying
Till you, find Ms. Lady Bell for me
Now I want you to tell her
My nights are so lonely
Ever since she been gone
Hey, hey!
Ever since she been gone
Now bluebird, bluebird, take this letter down South for me
Now bluebird, she, she went to Atlanta, Georgia
Down on Albany Avenue, I don't want you to stop flying
Till you find Ms. Lady Bell for me
Tell'm on my bended knees a'cryin'
