Oh, little red bird come to my window sill   Been so lonesome, shaking that morning chill   Oh, little red bird open your mouth and say   Been so lonesome, just about flown away      So long now I've been out   In the rain and snow   But winter's come and gone   A little bird told me so      Oh, little blue bird, pearly feather breast   Five cold nickels all I got left   Oh, little blue bird what am I gonna do?   Five cold nickels ain't gonna see me through      So long now I've been out   In the rain and snow   But winter's come and gone   A little bird told me so      Oh, little black bird on my wire line   Dark as trouble in this heart of mine   Poor little black bird sings a worried song   Dark as trouble, till winter's come and gone      So long now I've been out   In the rain and snow   But winter's come and gone   A little bird told me so      So long now I've been out   In the rain and snow   But winter's come and gone   A little bird told me so
