Spread your wings for New Orleans
|
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
|
|
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
|
She sings each night in some cafe
|
In her search to find wealth and fame
|
I hear Martha has gone and changed her name
|
|
It's a year since she was here
|
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
|
|
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
|
Tell her I miss her more each day
|
As her train pulled out down the track
|
Martha promised she'd soon be coming back
|
|
Oh tell her how my heart just breaks, in two
|
Since she journeyed far
|
And even though her dreams of fame fell through
|
To me she will always be a star
|
|
Spread your wings for New Orleans
|
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
|
|
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
|
Ask her to start for home today
|
When you find her please let her know
|
Rich or poor, I will always love her so
|
|
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
|
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
|
Fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away...
