Down Came A Blackbird Lyrics

Down Came A Blackbird lyrics

(Mark Spiro/Micheal Smotherman)

 

 Down came a blackbird

 Set on a fence

 Talkin' in riddles 

 Makin' no sense

 Cause she's gone

 You're baby's gone

 Down came a blackbird

 Perched on pole

 Took out a mirror

 And said, "Son, behold"

 Cause she's gone

 Your baby's gone

 

 Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

 Head hangin' over the kitchen sink 

 Gone like the wind through a cabin door

 Never gonna blow that way no more

 Gone like the song of a mockingbird

 Laughing at every little thing he heard

 Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke

 She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke

 She's gone

 You're baby's gone

 

 Down came a blackbird

 Set by the fire

 Said "the future's comin' at you like a freight train

 And you're walkin' a wire"

 Cause she's gone

 You're baby's gone

 

 Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

 Head hangin' over the kitchen sink

 Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke

 She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke

 She's gone 

 You're baby's gone

 

 She says she doesn't want a man who hangs around the house

 Who doesn't say a word unless he's shootin' off his mouth

 There's got to be a better way to be a lovin' wife

 If she stays here she'll end up her waitress for life

 

 Down came a blackbird 

 Set on a fence

 Talkin' in riddles

 And makin' absolutely perfect sense

 Cause she's gone

 You're baby's gone

 

 Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

 Head hangin' over the kitchen sink 

 Gone like the wind through a cabin door

 Never gonna blow that way no more

 Gone like the song of a mockingbird

 Laughing at every little thing he heard

 Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke

 She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke

 She's gone

 You're baby's gone

 

 Down came a blackbird

 Down came a blackbird
