I’m a little blackbird looking for a bluebird too You know little blackbirds get a little lonesome too And blue I’ve been all over from east to west In search of someone to feather my nest Why don’t I find one the same as you do The answer must be that I am a hoodoo I’m a little jazz-bo, looking for a rainbow, too Building fairy castles same as all the white folks do That’s true For love I‘m dyin‘, my heart is cryin’ A wise old owl said keep on tryin’ I’m a little blackbird looking for a bluebird now.
