Blackbird Lyrics - Singles - Cecile Corbel

I am a young maiden, my story is sad 

For once I was carefree and in love with a lad 

He courted me sweetly, by night and by day 

But now he has left me and gone far away 

Oh if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing 

I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in 

And in the top rigging I would there build my nest 

And I'd flutter my wings to his broad golden chest 

He sailed o'er the ocean, his fortune to seek 

I missed his caresses and his kiss on my cheek

Oh if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing 

I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in 

And in the top rigging I would there build my nest 

And I'd flutter my wings to his broad golden chest 

Then he offered to marry and to stay by my side 

But then in the morning he sailed with the tide 

I am a young maiden, my story is sad
