Down Came A Blackbird (Album Version) - Lila McCann

Down came a blackbird

Set on a fence

Talkin' in riddles

Makin' no sense

'Cause she's gone

You're baby's gone

Down came a blackbird

Perched on pole

Took out a mirror

And said son behold

'Cause she's gone

Your baby's gone

Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

Head hangin' over the kitchen sink

Gone like the wind through a cabin door

Never gonna blow that way no more

Gone like the song of a mockingbird

Laughing at every little thing he heard

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke

She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke

She's gone

You're baby's gone

Down came a blackbird

Set by the fire

Said the future's comin' at you like a freight train

And you're walkin' a wire

'Cause she's gone

You're baby's gone

Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

Head hangin' over the kitchen sink

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke

She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke

She's gone

You're baby's gone

She says she doesn't want a man who hangs around the house

Who doesn't say a word unless he's shootin' off his mouth

There's got to be a better way to be a lovin' wife

If she stays here she'll end up his waitress for life

Down came a blackbird

Set on a fence

Talkin' in riddles

And makin' absolutely perfect sense

'Cause she's gone

You're baby's gone

Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

Head hangin' over the kitchen sink

Gone like the wind through a cabin door

Never gonna blow that way no more

Gone like the song of a mockingbird

Laughing at every little thing he heard

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke

She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke

She's gone

You're baby's gone

Down came a blackbird

Down came a blackbird
