Down Came A Blackbird

Down came a blackbird, set on a fence Talkin' in reiddles makin' no sense 'Cause she's gone, your baby's gone Down came a blackbird, perched on a pole Took out a mirror and said, "Son, behold" 'Cause she's gone, your baby's gone Gone like a dollar spent on a drink Head hangin' over the kitchen sink Gone like the wind through a cabin door Never gonna blow that way no more Gone like the song of a mockingbird Laughing at every little thing he heard Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke She's gone, your baby's gone Down came a blackbird, set by the fire Said, "The future's comin' at you like a freight train And you're walkin' the wire" 'Cause she's gone, your baby's gone Gone like a dollar spent on a drink Head hangin' over the kitchen sink Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke She ain't comin' back and it ain't no joke She's gone, your baby's gone She says she doesn't want a man who hangs around the house Whoe doesn't say a word unless he's shootin' off his mouth There's got to be a better way to be a loving wife If she stays here she'll end up his waitress for life Down came a blackbird, set on a fence Talkin' in riddles and makin' Absolutely perfect sense 'Cause she's gone, your baby's gone Gone like a dollar spent on a drink Head hangin' over the kitchen sink Gone like the wind through a cabin door Never gonna blow that way no more Gone like the song of a mockingbird Laughing at every little thing he heard Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke She aint comin' back and it ain't no joke She's gone, your baby's gone Down came a blackbird Down came a blackbird
