Lord, I wonder where is my bluebird
Wonder where have my bluebird gone now?
Lord, I wonder where is my bluebird
Wonder where have my bluebird gone?
Now that she left me this mo'nin
People, I been lookin' for her all day long, now

Now my bluebird left me the other day
Peoples, an I ain't seen her since
Well now, my bluebird left me the other day
Peoples an I ain't seen her since
Now that I believe she's goin' to Washington
You know to visit the president

Now if my bluebird don't come back
Wonder what I am goin' to do now?
Now if my bluebird don't come back
Wonder what I'm, I'm goin' to do now?
Now if my bluebird continue on to stay
I believe I'll move to Washington, too now

(harmonica & instrumental)

Now when my bluebird left
She put a note up o'vr my door now
Well now, when my bluebird left me
She put a note up over my door now
Now she said, 'I'm goin' to Washington
Sonny Boy, an I don't want you no more, now'

A now that would be alright
Maybe my bluebird will change her mind
A now that would be alright, now
Maybe my bluebird will change her mind
Well now because a good bluebird now-a-days
Peoples, I just as swear they is hard to find.
