Winter’s Come and Gone (lyrics by Gillian Welch)

Oh little red bird, come to my windowsill
Been so lonesome, shaking that morning chill
Oh little red bird open your mouth and sing
Been so lonesome since you went away

So long now I’ve been out in the rain and snow
But the winter’s come and gone a little bird told me so.

Oh little blue bird, pearly feathered breast
Five cold nickels all that I got left
Oh little blue bird what am I gonna do?
Five cold nickels ain’t agonna see me through

So long…

Oh little black bird on my wire line
Dark as trouble in this heart of mine
Oh little black bird sings a worried song
I’ll be so lonesome til the winter’s come and gone.

So long now I’ve been out in the rain and snow
But the winter’s come and gone a little bird told me so
