All over my town the landscape is frozen
That winter wind will chill you to the bone
Seems like forever since summer has ended but ol' Jack Frost wants to keep holding on, that's right
And as the dawn breaks I sit lamentin'
Looking out the window at what the day might bring
But in a moment my spirit was lifted when in did flutter a sign of spring
It was a red red-winged blackbird singing his song oh-ka-lee
A red red-winged blackbird changing colours white to green
Put the kettle on to start the morning
Cracking eggs as the house begins to stir
I started singing morning has broken and all I could think about was that harbinger
It was a red red-winged blackbird singing his song oh-ka-lee
A red red-winged blackbird changing colours white to green
A red red-winged blackbird singing his song oh-ka-lee
A red red-winged blackbird changing colours white to green
It was a red red-winged blackbird singing his song oh-ka-lee
A red red-winged blackbird changing colours white to green
A red red-winged blackbird
