Blackbird Lyrics by Sam Lee

The Fade in Time

2015

Foretold me I'll remain, my fortune is high
I've been over courted, my rakish young light
And I've kept my love's company by night and by day
But now that he's listed and gone far away

For if I were a blackbird, I'd whistle, I'd sing
And I'd follow the ship my true love sailed in
High upon this land, must I dabble my name
Long I shall I gaze on these lily white banks
For my laws and the soldiers, many's name told unfair
There's none in the army come equal to it
With his red rosy cheeks and his colly black eyes
His flattering tongue goes my heart to a snack
For some people's talking that I'm out of my mind
Some people said that I'm not with the ???
And be talking and say what they will
When this breath in my body, I done my last will

For if I were a blackbird, I'd whistle, I'd sing
And I'd follow the ship my true love sailed in
High upon this land, must I dabble my name
Long I shall I gaze on these lily white banks

For if I were a merchant and could handle my band
I'd write in a letter to him I would send
Your tendency they're sailing and found wind to blow
It's a deal to my true love wherever he goes

For if I were a blackbird, I'd whistle, I'd sing
And I'd follow the ship my true love sailed in
High upon this land, must I dabble my name
Long I shall I gaze on these lily white banks

For if I were a blackbird, I'd whistle, I'd sing
And I'd follow the ship my true love sailed in
High upon this land, must I dabble my name
Long I shall I gaze on these lily white banks
