Never had no happiness
never had no fun caress
I'm just a little o' beat up humanity, born on a friday outcast
Blue as anyone can be
clouds all I ever see
And if the sun forsakes no one, why don't it shine on me
I'm a little blackbird looking for a bluebird ooh
you know little blackbirds, get a little lonesome to
I've been all over from east to the west
in search of someone to feather my nest
why can't I find one the same as you do
the answer must be
that I'm a hoodoo
I'm a little jazzboat looking for a rainbow through
building fairy castles, just like all the white folks do
forlorn and crying, my heart is sighing
but wise ol' Al says to keep on trying
I'm a little blackbird looking for a bluebird ooh
