Winter's Come and Gone

Oh, little red bird, come to my window sill
Been so lonesome, shaking that morning chill
Oh, little red bird, open your mouth and say
Been so lonesome, just about flown away

So long now I've been out in the rain and snow
But winter's come and gone
A little bird told me so

Oh, little blue bird, pearly feather breast
Five cold nickels is all I got left
Oh, little blue bird, what am I gonna do?
Five cold nickels ain't gon' see me through

So long now I've been out in the rain and snow
But winter's come and gone
A little bird told me so

Oh, little black bird on my wire line
Dark as trouble in this heart of mine
Poor little blackbird sings a worried song
Dark as trouble 'til winter's come and gone

So long now I've been out in the rain and snow
But winter's come and gone
A little bird told me so
So long now I've been out in the rain and snow
But winter's come and gone
A little bird told me so
