When you find him please let him know
And take a message to Michael, message to Michael
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
I hear Michael has gone and changed his name
Since he journeyed far
To me, he will always be a star
Spread your wings for New Orleans
And even though his dreams of fame fell through
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Oh, tell him how my heart just breaks in two
In his search to find wealth and fame
Tell him I miss him more each day
It's a year since he was here
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Michael, message to Michael
And take a message to Michael, message to Michael
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Michael promised he'd soon be coming back
As his train pulled out down the track
Ask him to start for home today
He sings each night in some cafe
Rich or poor, I will always love him so
