Charles Wesley Godwin - Winter's Come And Gone

Oh, little redbird, come to my windowsill
Been so lonesome shakin' that morning chill
Oh, little redbird, open your mouth and say
Been so lonesome, just about flown away

So long I've been out in the rain and snow
But a winter's come and gone, a little bird told me so

Oh, little bluebird, pearly feather breast
Five cold nickels' all that I got left
Oh, little bluebird, what am I gonna do?
Five cold nickels ain't gonna see me through

So long I've been out in the rain and snow
But a winter's come and gone, a little bird told me so

Oh, little blackbird on my wire line
Dark as trouble in this heart of mine
Poor little blackbird sings a worried song
Dark as trouble 'til the winter's come and gone

So long I've been out in the rain and snow
But a winter's come and gone, a little bird told me so
So long I've been out in the rain and snow
But a winter's come and gone, a little bird told me so
