Say hello to Miss Loretta Lynn ladies and gentlemen
[Bb] They need the snow and cold [Cm] and clean
[F] The unborn grass like waiting for its coat to turn [Bb] the green
The snowbird sings a song he [Cm] always sings
[F] And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again [Bb] in spring
when I was young [Cm] and
[F] Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that [Bb] I would do
But now I've [Dm] such emptiness [Cm] [F] within
[Cm]
For [F] the thing that I want most in life the thing that I [Bb] can't win
Spread your tiny wings and [Cm] fly away
[F] And take the snow back with you where it came from [Bb] on that day
The one I love forever [F] is [Cm] untrue
[F] And if I could you know that I would fly away [Bb] with you
[Cm]
[F]
[Bb] the breathless [Dm] thing [Cm] to say
That [F] he'll only break my heart again should I decide [Bb] to stay
So little snowbird take me with you when you [Cm] go
To [F] the land of gentle breezes where the peaceful [Bb] waters flow
Spread your tiny wings and [Cm] fly away
And [F] take the snow back with you where it came from [Bb] on that day
the one I love forever [F] is [Cm] untrue
[F] And if I could you know that I would fly away [Bb] with you
[F] Yeah, if I could you know that I [Eb] would fly away [Bb] with you
[N]
All right fine Loretta a real great job on a great song you recorded it in one of your albums
Did you and did an awful job?
Yeah an awful good job?
I would know an awful bad.
No.
I think it was good real fine
You remember back?
years ago
Mama Wilburn used to have leftover cornbread you know from the night before and the little snowbirds would fly in on the snow and
She'd feel sorry for him, and she'd let Teddy and I go out and feed him the cornbread
Because they couldn't find anything to eat
And finally somebody has written a song about the snowbird and I appreciate it very much
Oh, you know right after the snowbird song come out.
I think I was the first one to record it in an album and
I didn't know the song very good.
That's why I didn't come off very good
Well, I thought you and Teddy and Owen Bradley all three of you together got a good record on it
[Bb] They need the snow and cold [Cm] and clean
[F] The unborn grass like waiting for its coat to turn [Bb] the green
The snowbird sings a song he [Cm] always sings
[F] And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again [Bb] in spring
