Down Came A Blackbird

In the style of

Lila McCann

Lyrics

down came
a blackbird
sat on a fence

talkin' in riddles
makin' no sense
'cause she's gone
your baby's gone

down came
a blackbird
perched on a pole
took out a mirror
and said son behold
'cause she's gone
your baby's gone

a-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 a-way no more

gone like the song
of a mockingbird
laughin' 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
your baby's gone

down came
a blackbird
sat by the fire
he said the future's
comin' at you
like a freight train

and you're
walkin' the wire
'cause she's gone
your baby's gone

a-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
your baby's gone

a-she said
she doesn't want
a man who hangs
around the house
who doesn't
say a word unless
he's shootin' off
his mouth

well 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
sat on a fence

talkin' in riddles
and makin'
absolutely
perfect sense
'cause she's gone
your baby's gone

a-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 a-way no more

gone like the song
of a mockingbird
laughin' 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
your baby's gone

down came
a blackbird
down came
a blackbird
