Down Came a Blackbird Songtext
von Lila McCann

Down came a blackbird
Set on a fence
Talkin′ in riddles
Makin' no sense
Cause she′s gone
You're baby's gone
Down came a blackbird
Perched on pole
Took out a mirror
And said, "son, behold"
Cause she′s gone
Your baby′s gone


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 way no more
Gone like the song of a mockingbird
Laughing 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
You′re baby's gone

Down came a blackbird
Set by the fire
Said "the future's comin′ at you like a freight train
And you′re walkin' a wire"
Cause she′s gone
You're baby′s gone

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
You′re baby's gone

She says she doesn′t want a man who hangs around the house
Who doesn't say a word unless he′s shootin' off his mouth
There′s got to be a better way to be a lovin' wife
If she stays here she'll end up her waitress for life


Down came a blackbird
Set on a fence
Talkin′ in riddles
And makin′ absolutely perfect sense
Cause she's gone
You′re baby's gone

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 way no more
Gone like the song of a mockingbird
Laughing 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
You′re baby′s gone

Down came a blackbird
Down came a blackbird
