I'll tell you all, i know, i know a little bluebird
I sure, i sure wish she would sing for me

She's been flying around so long, oh lord
I wish she would land in my tree
Every time she goes by, i want to cut her wings, yeah
I say every, every, every, every, every, every, every
Every time she goes by, oh, i want to clip her wings
You know why

So we can lock up in her nest together
