This is a remix of a song we did in 2014 for iCompositions.

Bye Bye Blackbird was written in 1926 by Ray Henderson and Mort Dixon. It is now a Jazz standard but almost all vocal versions feature just the chorus and leave out the two verses of the original. The history of the song and the artists who performed it could certainly fill a few pages.

Lyrics
Chorus
Pack up all my cares and woes 
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is he
Bye bye blackbird

No one here can love or 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


The Missing Verses
Blackbird, blackbird 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 through the winter you hung around. 
Now I begin to feel homeward bound. 
Blackbird, blackbird gotta be on my way 
Where there's sunshine galore. 

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 every hour is one long tear. 
Bluebird, bluebird this is my lucky day. 
Now my dreams will come true.
