Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
So here I sit, nothing I can do
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You're more lucky than me
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
They're all the same, those pretty girls
Take tenderness, then they fly away
I'd fly away with you but I am not a yellow bird
Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
Yellow bird, yellow bird
You're more lucky than me
You can fly away, in the sky away
Wish that I were a yellow bird
I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today
