(John Lee Williamson) Bluebird bluebird, I want you to take a message down south for me Bluebird bluebird, I want you to take a message down south for me I want ya to find Miss Liza Belle and tell her, I'm just as poor as a man can be Bluebird, if she's not at home, you needn't worry yourself by knockin' on the door Bluebird, if she's not at home, you needn't worry yourself by knockin' on the door
She may be right across the street, seein' the next door neighbor, you know Bluebird, when ya come back to Chicago, I want you to fly 'tween the sun and cloud When ya come back to Chicago, I want you to fly 'tween the sun and the cloud If ya get a message from Liza Belle, don't let it hit the ground
