Nina Simone

Bye Bye Blackbird

Pack up all my cares 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 and understand me.
oh -- what hard-luck stories they all hand me.
make my bed and light the light
i'll arrive late tonight,
blackbird, bye-bye.
