Bird Named Yesterday Lyrics - Bobby Bare

I had a bird he flew away 

And I guess he's gone to stay 

But I see him winging on his way 

My flyaway bird named Yesterday 

He's over the place of my birth 

He's circling a spot that I know 

He's hangin' around the saw mill town 

Where the gentle summer breeze blow 

I had a bird he flew away 

And I guess he's gone to stay 

But I see him winging on his way 

My flyaway bird named Yesterday 

He's riding on a train 

He's down at the old swimmin' hole 

He'll fly till he finds 

That old gang of mine 

Then he'll search for a tree 

A big tall oak tree 

Then he'll look from his perch 

At the old country church 

I had a bird he flew away 

And I guess he's gone to stay 

But I see him winging on his way 

My flyaway bird named Yesterday
