Joy Bennett Lyr Req: Red-Winged Blackbird (Billy Edd Wheeler) (25) Lyr Req: red winged bird by Billy Edd Wheeler 07 Aug 03


have been told there are many verses to this song -- I have only 3 -- help!!

o can't you see that pretty little bird
singing with all his heart and soul
he's got a blood-red spot on his wing
and all the rest of him's black as coal

fly away you red-winged bird
leave behind a miner's wife
she'll dream about you when you;re gone
she'll dream about you all her life

of all the colors that ever I saw
red and black are the ones i dread
for when a man spills blood on the coal
they carry him down to the coal mines dead

any help is appreciated - thanks
