"Bye bye bird" - hopefully ;)

"Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go
Singing low
Bye bye, blackbird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet
So is she
Bye bye, blackbird

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me

Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive
Late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye"

The song is nice too ;)
@Anne It's one of those songs, it's been covered hundreds of times since 1926... I have two CDR's filled with my favourite
versions : )

Merci 😀❤
you have an impressive music collection 👍
@nadloriot There's close to a thousand versions of Bye Bye Blackbird been recorded over the last 100 years, both vocal versions and instrumentals but no contest these are my favourites ones, the challenge was to sequence them in an order that makes for a pleasant listening experience, glad you enjoyed it : )
Dave Van Ronk's cover is my favourite 😀
It's a great version! A real Louis Armstrong vibe to it... Taken from the last album
Dave ever recorded, which is a wonderful album, a deep trawl through the American songbook...
