Bye Bye Blackbird

Etta Jones

Gonna pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing 
low 
Bye bye blackbird 
Where somebody waits for me, sugar is sweet and so is he 
Bye bye blackbird 

No one here can love and understand me 
Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me 
So make my bed, light the light, I'll arrive late tonight 
Blackbird, bye bye 

I'm gonna pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, 
singing low 
Bye bye blackbird 
Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet and so is he 
Bye bye blackbird 

No one here can love and understand me 
Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me 
So make my bed, light the light, I'll arrive late tonight 
Blackbird, bye bye
