al bernard - i'm looking for a bluebird lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i put on my coat, put on my hat
slammed the door and left my daddy flat
(sweet papa! why did i go?)
there was no argument, there was no fight
i said: “i’m going,” and he said: “all right!”
(oh daddy! i didn’t know.)
he was always sweet, always kind
anybody sweeter would be hard to find
i had no right to do him wrong
and that’s why all day long

[chorus]
i’m looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away
and i sure got ’em, got those blues the very day i went away
why did i ever, ever go? i didn’t know i loved him so
why i sigh, cry, guess i’d better send a little letter
and tell him that i’m sorry and that all i do is weep
and how at night i cry myself to sleep, (and then, don’t sleep)
tears keep chokin’, heart’s just broken
i’m looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away

[verse 2]
i blew out the gas, anxious to die
laid me down, and kissed myself goodbye
(sweet daddy! i loved you so.)
i squared my shoulders, i heaved a breath
i laid and waited for that sting of death
(oh daddy! you’ll never know.)
but that meter stopped, got the fits
darn thing wouldn’t work until it got two bits
but i was broke, without a sou
so that’s how i pulled through

[chorus]
i’m looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away
and i sure got ’em, got those blues the very day i went away
why did i ever, ever go? i didn’t know i loved him so
why i sigh, cry, for the pettin’, someone else is gettin’
i long to twine my lovin’ arms around my baby’s neck
without that man, i tell you, i’m a wreck, (a total wreck)
nights no sleepin’, days i’m weepin’
i’m looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away

[patter]
spend the night a-walkin’ through the empty streets
list’ning to the echo of my own foot-beats
never see the sun a-shining, ev’rything looks gray
the river seems to beckon when i p-ss that way
i’ve got the heart-ache blues and i’m too mean to cry
i’ve got the heartbreak blues and i’m too young to die
tears keep chokin’, heart’s just broken
i’m looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away
