Lyrics

#VERSE
Pretty red bird have you come to call
On your little brown bird at the close of fall
Pretty red bird oh don't you know
She's gone down south so long ago

#CHORUS
She's long long gone, no matter how you sing your song
Long long gone, she's long long long long gone

#INSTRUMENTAL

#VERSE
Pretty red bird oh you can't forget
Sweet beauty of your voices' blend
Pretty red bird nothing here for you
'Cept the waning warmth and your promise true

#CHORUS
She's long long gone, no matter how you sing your song
Long long gone, she's long long long long gone

#INSTRUMENTAL

#VERSE
Little brown bird don't you weep and sing
For your pretty red bird with the crooked wing
Little brown bird with an empty nest
Hold his memory now close to your breast

#CHORUS
He's long long gone, no matter how you sing your song
Long long gone, he's long long long long gone

#INSTRUMENTAL

#CHORUS
He's long long gone, no matter how you sing your song
Long long gone, no matter how you sing your song
Long long gone, no matter how you sing your song
He’s long long gone, oh he's long long long long gone
Yes he’s long, long, long, long gone
