Bluebird, now, bluebird
Please take the letter down south for me
Bluebird, now, bluebird
Please take the letter down south for me

Now I don't want you to quit flyin'
Until you find Miss Lacey Belle for me

Now bluebird, when you get to Jackson
I want you to fly down on Shannon Street
Now bluebird when you get to Jackson
I want you to fly down on Shannon Street

Now I don't want you to quit flyin', bluebird
Until you find Miss Lacey Belle for me

Now bluebird, when you find Miss Lacey Belle
I want you to give her my best regard
Bluebird, when you find Miss Lacey Belle
I want you to give her my best regard

Now I want you to tell her I'm up here in St Louis
You know that times is awful doggone hard
