Red-Winged Blackbird Lyrics

Red-Winged Blackbird (红翅乌鸫) - Judy Collins

Written by:Billy Edd Wheeler

Oh can't you see that pretty little bird

Singing with all his heart and soul

He's got a bloodred spot on his wing

And all of the rest of him's black as coal

Of all the colours I ever did see

Red and black are the ones I dread

For when a man spills blood on the coal

They carry him down from the coal mines dead

Oh fly away you red winged bird

Leave behind the miner's wife

She'll dream about you when you're gone

She'll dream about you all her life

Oh can't you see that pretty little bird

Singing with all his heart and soul

He's got a blood red spot on his wing

 

And all of the rest of him's black as coal
