Red-Winged Blackbird

	Oh, can't you see that pretty little bird
	Singing with all his heart and soul?
	He's got a blood red spot on his wing
	And all the rest of him's black as coal
	Of all the colors
	I ever did see
	Red and black are the ones
	I dreadFor when a man spills blood on the coal
	They carry him down from the coal mines dead
	Oh, fly away you red-winged bird
	Leave behind the miner's wife
	She'll dream about you when you’re gone
	She'll dream about you all her life
	Oh, can't you see that pretty little bird
	Singing with all his heart and soul?
	He's got a blood-red spot on his wing
	And all the rest of him's black as coal

	Oh, can' t you see that pretty little bird
