Chorus:
Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird
Red-winged blackbird down my road
Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird
Red-winged blackbird down my road
He’ll be there beside the river
When winter finally breaks its bones
He’ll be king among the rushes
He’ll be master of his home
Safe as Moses in the rushes
Makes his home on the river wide
Every time I hear him singing
Makes me feel like spring inside
He’ll be in there singing his heart out
He’ll be telling stories too
Of where he went to winter last year
How he’s going back there too
