Bobby Bare - Bird Named Yesterday lyrics

I had a bird he flew away and I guess he's gone to stay But I see him winging on his way my flyaway bird named Yesterday He's over the place of my birth he's circling a spot that I know He's hangin' around the Saw Mill town where the gentle summer breezes blow I had a bird he flew away... He's riding on a train he's down at the old swimmin' hole He'll fly till he finds that old gang of mine Then he'll search for a tree a big tall oak tree Then he'll look from his perch at the old country church I had a bird he flew away...
