Lyrics Fairport Convention – Yellow Bird

Text:

Yellow bird, yellow bird, up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me

Did your lady friend leave your nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad

You can fly away, in the sky away
You’re more lucky than me

I also had a pretty girl, she’s not with me today
They’re all the same, the pretty girls
Take tenderness then they fly away

Yellow bird up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me

Let her fly away, in the sky away
Pick a town and soon, take from night to noon
Black and yellow, you, like banana too
They might pick you some day

Wish that I was a yellow bird
I’d fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So here I sit, nothin’ else to do

Yellow bird
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
