about

Another bluegrass-based tune, a strong vocal duet supported by a banjo and fiddle solo.

lyrics

Redbird Redbird flying low
Headed south where the winds don’t blow
Free to stay in free to go
You don’t own and you don’t owe
You don’t care about a thing
All you do is fly and sing
What makes you sing what makes you fly
What makes us live and lose and die, Redbird

Redbird, Redbird up a loft
You never lay awake and tossed
Sad and sleepless till the dawn
I reckon now she’s truly gone
She left me here to weep and wail
Shed my tears and tell my tail
Left me all alone and blue
Left me here to sing to you, Redbird

Mr. Redbird tell me true
Did you have a sweetheart too
Was she wicked was she wild
And did she have your soul beguiled
Was she fooling from the start
Till she tore your life apart
Did the one that you love best
Steal your joy and your hearts rest, Redbird

Redbird Redbird high above
You never shed a tear for love
Redbird Redbird flying free
Look on down and pity me
You’re warbling clear and winging high
You don’t suffer you don’t sigh
You don’t wake and wonder why
There you go and here am I
Redbird
mmm mmm mmm Redbird
