Yellow Bird - Fairport Convention

Yellow bird way up in banana tree

Yellow bird you sit all alone like me Did you lady friend leave the nest again

That is very sad makes me feel so bad

You can fly away in the sky away

You’re more lucky than me I also have a pretty girl she’s not with me today

They’re all the same those pretty girls

They make a nest then they fly away

Yellow bird way up in banana tree…

Wish that I were a yellow bird I’d fly away with you

But I am not a yellow bird so here I sit got nothing I can do Yellow bird way up in banana tree…

(Yellow bird) you’re more lucky than me

(Yellow bird) you’re more lucky than me

(Yellow bird)
