Fly ye away from my window, little bluebird
Fly ye as far as you can away from here
Let not your song fall upon my ear
Go spread your blue wings, I'll shed my blue tears

For the one that I have loved, he has left me and gone
And I am in no mood for to hear your sad song

And bring not your light into my dark gloom, yellow sunshine
Raise not your warmth on the coldness in here
Trouble me not, go ye elsewhere
Go ye elsewhere
Go light your blue sky, I'll shed my blue tears
Shed my blue tears

Oh, the only one that I have ever loved has gone away
And I am in no mood for the sunshine today

And I don't know when or if ever again
I will see your sweet face, but I fear
It's forever goodbye, though I can't say why
But I'll sit here and cry my lonely blue tears

Go spread your blue wings
Go light your blue sky
I'll shed my blue tears
Go spread your blue wings
Go light your blue sky
I'll shed my blue tears

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh, oh
Oh

Fly
Light your blue sky
I'll shed my blue tears
