Im Looking For A Bluebird by Al Bernard Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I put on my coat, put on my hat
Slammed the door and left my daddy flat
(Sweet papa! Why did I go?)
There was no argument, there was no fight
I said: "I'm going," and he said: "All Right!"
(Oh daddy! I didn't know.)
He was always sweet, always kind
Anybody sweeter would be hard to find
I had no right to do him wrong
And That's why all day long
[Chorus]
I'm looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away
And I sure got 'em, got those blues the very day I went away
Why did I ever, ever go? I didn't know I loved him so
Why I sigh, cry, guess I'd better send a little letter
And tell him that I'm sorry and that all I do is weep
And how at night I cry myself to sleep, (and then, don't sleep)
Tears keep chokin', heart's just broken
I'm looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away
[Verse 2]
I blew out the gas, anxious to die
Laid me down, and kissed myself goodbye
(Sweet daddy! I loved you so.)
I squared my shoulders, I heaved a breath
I laid and waited for that sting of death
(Oh daddy! You'll never know.)
But that meter stopped, got the fits
Darn thing wouldn't work until it got two bits
But I was broke, without a sou
So that's how I pulled through
[Chorus]
I'm looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away
And I sure got 'em, got those blues the very day I went away
Why did I ever, ever go? I didn't know I loved him so
Why I sigh, cry, for the pettin', someone else is gettin'
I long to twine my lovin' arms around my baby's neck
Without that man, I tell you, I'm a wreck, (a total wreck)
Nights no sleepin', days I'm weepin'
I'm looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away
[Patter]
Spend the night a-walkin' through the empty streets
List'ning to the echo of my own foot-beats
Never see the sun a-shining, ev'rything looks gray
The river seems to beckon when I pass that way
I've got the heart-ache blues and I'm too mean to cry
I've got the heartbreak blues and I'm too young to die
Tears keep chokin', heart's just broken
I'm looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away
I put on my coat, put on my hat
Slammed the door and left my daddy flat
(Sweet papa! Why did I go?)
There was no argument, there was no fight
I said: "I'm going," and he said: "All Right!"
(Oh daddy! I didn't know.)
He was always sweet, always kind
Anybody sweeter would be hard to find
I had no right to do him wrong
And That's why all day long
[Chorus]
I'm looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away
And I sure got 'em, got those blues the very day I went away
Why did I ever, ever go? I didn't know I loved him so
Why I sigh, cry, guess I'd better send a little letter
And tell him that I'm sorry and that all I do is weep
And how at night I cry myself to sleep, (and then, don't sleep)
Tears keep chokin', heart's just broken
I'm looking for a bluebird to chase my blues away
[Verse 2]
I blew out the gas, anxious to die
Laid me down, and kissed myself goodbye
(Sweet daddy! I loved you so.)
I squared my shoulders, I heaved a breath
