Red-Winged Blackbird

                                  [Chorus: ]

Oh can't you see that pretty little bird

Sing with all his heart and soul

He's got a blood red spot on his wing

And all the rest of him is black, as coal



Of all the colors I ever did see

Red and black are the ones I dread

For when a man spills blood on the coal

They carry him down form the coal mine, dead



Oh fly away you red winged bird

Leave behind the miner's wife

She'll dream about you when you're gone

She'll dream about you all her life



[Chorus: ]
