Snowbird Lyrics
Snowbird (雪鸟) - Hank Snow
Ducks flying south
And the rich men also
Heading for the beaches
Where the warm gulf winds blow
And I'm going too
I can hear that whistle cry
'Cause I'm the kinda' bird
That has to navigate
Tourist class on a southbound freight
But this snowbird's gonna'
Come back by and by
'Cause the ground's too cold
For this poor boy's sandals
People won't stop
So I can't panhandle
So goodbye Denver
I'll see you again next spring
The cop on the beat even
Seems a little friendly
He knows this cold
Weather's gonna send me
South to dixie the snowbird's on the wing
My health's good enough
But my wardrobes thinner
If I don't head south
I'm gonna' freeze this winter
So the railroad line's
Gonna' have an unknown guest
I'm gonna' vacate
But it's no vacation
When the train pulls into
Some southern station
You can tell every body
That the snowbird's on his nest
'Cause the ground's too cold
For this poor boy's sandals
People won't stop
So I can't panhandle
So goodbye denver
I'll see you again next spring
The cop on the beat even
Seems a little friendly
He knows this cold
Weather's gonna send me
South to dixie the snowbird's on the wing
