I also have a pretty gal, she not with me today
Dey all de same, de pretty gal make dem de nest
Den dey fly away
Yellowbird up high in banana tree
Yellowbird you sit all alone like me
Did your lady frien’ leave de nest again
Dat is very sad, make me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away, you more lucky dan me
Yellowbird, yellowbird, yellowbird
