[Chorus]
(Carrier pigeon, carrier dove)
Fly to my darlin' and take her my love

[Verse 1]
Take her a message
Tell her I'm blue
Tell her I'm lonely
But faithful and true

[Chorus]
(Carrier pigeon, carrier dove)
Fly to my darlin' and give her my love

[Verse 2]
Tell her I missed her
Say I was wrong
Tell her that we've been
Parted too long

[Chorus]
Carrier pigeon, carrier dove
Take her my heart and return with her love

[Bridge]
Fly away pigeon, fly way dove
Come back, pigeon, back with my love
Fly away pigeon, fly way dove
Come back, pigeon, back with my love
[Verse 3]
Wrote her and phoned her
Wired her, too
She never answered
So I'm countin' on you

[Chorus]
(Carrier pigeon, carrier dove)
Fly to my darlin' and bring back my love

[Verse 4]
I want you to tell her
One little thing
Say that I'm holdin'
That old weddin' ring

[Chorus]
(Carrier pigeon, carrier dove)
Fly to my darlin' and bring back my love

[Outro]
Fly away pigeon, fly way dove
Come back, pigeon, back with my love
Fly away pigeon, fly way dove
Come back, pigeon, back with my love
Back with my love
Back with my love
