[Title] Bye Bye Blackbird [Credits] Lyrics by Mort Dixon Music by Ray Henderson Originally published in 1926 by Jerome H. Remick & Co. Public-domain composition in the United States New arrangement and recording by DJ KON TAKTS [Intro] (Soft piano chords, brushed snare enters, upright bass walks in, muted trumpet sighs) [Verse 1] Black bird Black bird singing the blues all day Right outside of my door Blackbird Blackbird Why do you sit and say “There’s no sunshine in store” All thru the winter you hung around Now I begin to feel homeward bound Blackbird Blackbird gotta be on my way Where there’s sunshine galore [Verse 2] (Clarinet weaves in, gentle jazz guitar arpeggios, subtle ukulele texture) Bluebird Bluebird calling me far away I’ve been longing for you Bluebird Bluebird What do I hear you say “Skies are turning to blue” I’m like a flower that's fading here Where ev’ry hour is one long tear Bluebird Bluebird this is my lucky day Now my dreams will come true [Chorus] (Full ensemble swells, brushed drums lighten, vocal lifts with bittersweet resolve) Pack up all my care and woe here I go singing low Bye Bye Blackbird Where somebody waits for me sugar’s sweet so is she Bye Bye Blackbird No one here can love and understand me Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me Make my bed and light the light I’ll arrive late tonight Blackbird Bye Bye [Outro] (Piano holds a suspended chord, muted trumpet echoes, distant train ambiance fades) Bye Bye... Blackbird...
