Yellow Bird

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree

Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me

Did your lady friend leave the nest again?

That is very sad, makes me feel so bad

You can fly away, in the sky away

You're more lucky than me

I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today

They're all the same, those pretty girls

Take tenderness, then they fly away

Yellow bird, yellow bird

Did your lady friend leave the nest again?

That is very sad, makes me feel so bad

You can fly away, in the sky away

You're more lucky than me

Wish that I were a yellow bird

I'd fly away with you but I am not a yellow bird

So here I sit, nothing I can do

Yellow bird, yellow bird
