PACK UP ALL MY CARES AND WOES,
HERE I GO, SINGING LOW,
BYE, BYE, BLACKBIRD.


WHERE SOMEBODY WAITS FOR ME,
SUGAR IS SWEET, SO IS SHE,
BYE, BYE, BLACKBIRD.


NO ONE HERE CAN LOVE AND 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.


PACK UP ALL MY CARES AND WOES,

WHERE SOMEBODY WAITS FOR ME,
SUGAR IS SWEET, SO IS SHE,

I SAID, NO ONE HERE CAN LOVE AND UNDERSTAND ME,
OH, WHAT HARD LUCK STORIES THEY ALL HAND ME.


SO, MAKE MY BED AND LIGHT THE LIGHT,
I'LL ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT,
BLACKBIRD, BYE, BYE.


MAKE MY BED AND LIGHT THE LIGHT,
I'LL ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT,
BLACKBIRD,
I SAID BLACKBIRD,
I SAID BLACKBIRD,
OH, BLACKBIRD, BYE, BYE.
