| Spread your wings for New Orleans;
|
| Kentucky bluebird, fly away
|
| And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
|
| She sings tonight in some cafe
|
| In her search to find wealth and fame
|
| I hear Martha has gone and changed her name, yea
|
| 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’ll soon be coming back
|
| Wooh 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
|
| It’s a year since she was here, woo;
|
| 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’ll soon be coming back, woo, yea!
|
| Wooh, fly away, Kentucky bluebird;
|
| Fly away, Kentucky bluebird;
|
| Fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away. |
