27 Nov 01 - 11:42 PM (#599106) Subject: ADD: Redwing Blackbird (David Francey) From: John Nolan RED WINGED BLACKBIRD (David Francey) Thought I heard a red winged blackbird, Red winged blackbird down my road, Thought I heard a red winged blackbird, Red winged blackbird down my road. He'll be there beside the river, When Winter finally breaks its bones, He'll be king among the rushes, He'll be master of his home. Thought I heard a red winged blackbird, Red winged blackbird down my road. Thought I heard a red winged blackbird, Red winged blackbird down my road. Safe as Moses in the rushes, Builds his home on the river wide, Every time I hear him singing, Makes me feel like Spring inside. Thought I heard a red winged blackbird, Red winged blackbird down my road. Thought I heard a red winged blackbird, Red winged black bird down my road. He'll be in there singing his heart out, He'll be telling me stories too, Of where he went to winter last year, Of how he's going back there too. Thought I heard a red winged blackbird, Red winged blackbird down my road, Thought I heard a red winged blackbird, Red winged blackbird down my road. Words and Music: ©David Francey (1989) I just copied them from David's site. But check him out, anway. He is the most underrated songwriter in America. |
