Bye Bye Blackbird
Bye Blackbird
This was the very first song I ever learned way back when I was just a teenager. I recorded it in 1970 ? on a live radio show in San Diego and boy would that ever be great blackmail material!
The story touches me deeply. It's about saying good bye to the old, the pain, maybe an old lover or just an old believe about yourself. It's it to fly into the unknown and dance with the future!
Getting to have Paulinho Da Costa on the record and especially on this track is a thrill!
Lyrics
Pack up all my care and woe
Pack up all my care 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 and light the light,
I'll be home late tonight,
Blackbird, bye bye.
