[Verse 1]
Bluebird, I want you to sail down south for me
Bluebird, I want you to sail down south for me
I want you to sail, bluebird, way down in Jackson, Tennessee

[Verse 2]
Give my baby this message
Please do that for me if you please
Please give my baby this message
Please do that for me if you please
Tell her I'm up in Chicago
I need her love to keep me warm

[Verse 3]
Blue, I would come down to see you, baby
But you know your good friend got me by
Ooh, I would come down to see you, baby
But you know your good friend has got me by
You know I need you in Chicago
I need your love to keep me warm
