message to martha (kentucky bluebird)

Lyrics

spread your wings for new orleans, kentucky bluebird, fly away, and take a message to martha, message to martha, she sings each night in some cafe, in her search to find wealth and fame, i hear martha has gone and changed her name, it's a year since she was here, kentucky bluebird, fly away, and take a message to martha, message to martha, tell her i love her more each day, as the train pulled out down the track, martha promised she'd soon be coming back, oh, tell her how my heart just breaks in two, since she journeyed far, and even though her dreams of fame fell through, to me she will always be a star, spread your wings for new orleans, kentucky bluebird, fly away, and take a message to martha, message to martha, tell her to start for home today, when you find her please let her know, rich or poor, i will always love her so, fly away, kentucky bluebird, fly away, kentucky bluebird, fly away, fly away, fly away
