[Verse 1]
Packed up all my cares and woes
Here I go sinking low
Bye bye black-bird
[Verse 2]
Where somebody cares for me
*
Sugarâs sweet, so is she
* *
Bye bye black-bird
[Bridge]
Here nobody cares or understands me
N.C.
Their hard luck stories they all hand me
[Verse 3]
Make my bed light the light
Iâll be there, late to- night
Black -bird bye bye
