lyrics

Red wing blackbird
You're the first to come in spring
Red wing blackbird
Do you ever like to sing

Your call so loud
It's like a scream
You fill the clouds
With conk la rees

Red wing blackbird
You're the loudest sign of spring

Red wing blackbird
You're not all talk
Red wing blackbird
Did I see you chase a hawk?

You call your friends
The chase is on
Y’all team up
The hawk is gone

Red wing blackbird
You're the toughest sign of spring

Should I pass by your nest I hope that
You don't come a peckin' on my hat
Though I know your just doing your best
To stay alert and protect your nest
From me

Red winged blackbird
Returning from away
Red wing blackbird
You look so good today

Your wings on fire
Your eyes like night
A streak of sun
Your quite the sight

Red wing blackbird
You're the prettiest sign of spring

Yes you’re the loudest toughest prettiest sign of spring (arent’ ya)
Yes you’re the loudest toughest prettiest sign of spring (one more time)
Yes you’re the loudest toughest prettiest
sign of spring
