Yellow Bird

Refrain:

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree,

Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.

Did your lady frien’ leave the nest again?

That is very sad, make me feel so bad,

You can fly away in the sky away,

You’re more lucky than me.

I also had a pretty gal,

She’s not with me today.

They all the same, the pretty gals,

Make them the nest, then they fly away.

Better fly away in the sky away,

Pickers comin’ soon, pick from night to noon,

Black an’ yellow you, like banana too,

They might pick you some day.

Wish that I was a yellow bird,

I’d fly away with you.

But I am not a yellow bird,

So here I sit, nothin’ else to do.
