The Bird Lyrics - George Jones

I curse the day she bought me that old bird 

Squalking, talking, telling everything it ever heard 

She never would have known about 

Big Betty Brown and me 

But he fowled up and told her 

Some things you won't believe 

Oh, my woman moved out on me today 

And left that old stool pigeon 

Parrot trembling in his cage 

I hollered from the front porch 

And stopped her at the curb 

And the last thing I gave her was the bird

Chorus: 

Oh, the last thing I gave her was the bird 

And she returned the favor with a few selected words 

I don't have to worry now what's being overheard 

'Cause the last thing I gave her was the bird 

She sat the cage beside her on the seat 

And left two streaks of firestone smokin' on the street 

The neighbors ran for cover 

They could see she was disturbed 

'Cause the last thing I gave her was the bird 

Chorus: 

Oh, the last thing I gave her was the bird 

And she returned the favor with a few selected words 

I don't have to worry now what's being overheard 

'Cause the last thing I gave her was the bird

Chorus: 

Oh, the last thing I gave her was the bird 

And she returned the favor with a few selected words 

I don't have to worry now what's being overheard 

'Cause the last thing I gave her was the bird 

Yes, the last thing I gave her was the bird...
