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 he
Bye bye blackbird

No one here can love and 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

While ago, when I was young
A happy song, I heard it sung
Bye bye blackbird
I don't know why it makes me sad
Happy song should make me glad
Bye bye blackbird

No one here can love and understand me
Oh, 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
