Fly away from my window little blue bird
Fly as far as you can away from here
And let not your song fall upon my ear
Go spread your blue wings and I’ll shed my blue tears
For the one that I have loved
He has left me and gone
An’ I’m in no mood for to hear your sad song

Bring not your light into my dark room, yellow sunshine
Waste not your warmth on the cold glisten here
Oh, trouble me not
Go ye elsewhere
Go light your blue sky and I’ll shed my blue tears

For the only one that I have ever loved has gone away
An’ I’m in no mood for the sunshine today

Go spread your blue wings
Go light your blue sky
An’ I’ll shed my blue tears
