Down Came A Blackbird Lyrics - Lila Mccann

(mark spiro/micheal smotherman) 

 

Down came a blackbird 

Set on a fence 

Talkin' in riddles 

Makin' no sense 

Cause she's gone 

You're baby's gone 

Down came a blackbird 

Perched on pole 

Took out a mirror 

And said, "son, behold" 

Cause she's gone 

Your baby's gone 

 

Gone like a dollar spent on a drink 

Head hangin' over the kitchen sink 

Gone like the wind through a cabin door 

Never gonna blow that way no more 

Gone like the song of a mockingbird 

Laughing at every little thing he heard 

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke 

She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke 

She's gone 

You're baby's gone 

 

Down came a blackbird 

Set by the fire 

Said "the future's comin' at you like a freight train 

And you're walkin' a wire" 

Cause she's gone 

You're baby's gone 

 

Gone like a dollar spent on a drink 

Head hangin' over the kitchen sink 

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke 

She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke 

She's gone 

You're baby's gone 

 

She says she doesn't want a man who hangs around the house 

Who doesn't say a word unless he's shootin' off his mouth 

There's got to be a better way to be a lovin' wife 

If she stays here she'll end up his waitress for life 

 

Down came a blackbird 

Set on a fence 

Talkin' in riddles 

And makin' absolutely perfect sense 

Cause she's gone 

You're baby's gone 

 

Gone like a dollar spent on a drink 

Head hangin' over the kitchen sink 

Gone like the wind through a cabin door 

Never gonna blow that way no more 

Gone like the song of a mockingbird 

Laughing at every little thing he heard 

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke 

She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke 

She's gone 

You're baby's gone 

 

Down came a blackbird 

Down came a blackbird
