Vol. 8: Blue Bird Blues" Lyrics - Sonny Boy Williamson

My bluebird, bluebird, please take this letter down south for me 

Now, bluebird, bluebird, please take this letter down south for me 

Now you can tell my baby, I'm up here in St. Louis, oh, but I'm just as blue as I can be 

Now, bluebird, when you get to Jackson, I want you to fly down on Shannon Street 

Now, bluebird when you get to Jackson, I want you to fly down on Shannon Street 

Well, but I don't want you to stop flyin', until you find Miss Lacey Belle, for me 

Now bluebird, when you find Miss Lacey Belle, I want you to please give her my best regard 

Now bluebird, when you find Miss Lacey Belle, oh, give her my best regard 

Well, that you can tell her I'm up here in St. Louis but these times is awful doggone hard 

Now bluebird, she may not be at home but please, knock on her door 

Now bluebird, she may not be at home but please knock on her door 

Well, but she might be right across the street, visitin' her next door neighbor, you know
