[Intro]
(Bluebird, bluebird)

[Verse 1]
Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
She sings each night in some café
In her search to find wealth and fame
I hear Martha has gone and changed her name

[Verse 2]
It's a year since she was here
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
Tell her I miss her more each day
As her train pulled out down the track
Martha promised she'd soon be coming back

[Bridge]
Oh, tell her how my heart just breaks in two
Since she journeyed far
And even though her dream of fame fell through
To me, she'll always be a star

[Verse 3]
Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, whoa, Martha
Tell her to start for home today
When you find her please let her know
Rich or poor, I will always love her so
[Outro]
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, you lucky ol' bluebird
Hmmm, hmmm
Hmmm, hmmm
