(arrangement of the traditional work "corrina, corrina") Words and music by joni mitchell I took a house by the water Took a man on a mountainside Pretty house by the water Lovely lover by the waterside Last time i saw that man He hung down his head and cried Corrina, corrina Do you have to go Corrina, corrina Tell me why do you have to go Just made me come to love you girl Now you pack your things and go Leave me this bird that whistles Leave me this bird that sings I got a bird that whistles I got a bird that's singin' If i don't have you darlin' Birds don't mean nothin'
