(My how that little bird does whistle.
Gee, that reminds me of my long lost lover)
I've lost my sweet lover, he's gone away to stay
How I wish some gentle breeze would blow and bring him back to me
I wish I had wings like an aeroplane that flies in the heavens above
I wish I had wings like a little
Bluebird, I'd fly to the one that I love
I'm going back to the South Sea Isles, sit up in the sand
Bathe and bathe in the tropical sun, maybe there I will find my man
I wish I had wings like an aeroplane that flies in the heavens above
I wish I had wings like a little
Bluebird, I'd fly to the one that I love
I love that lost sweet baby boy, from his head down to his knees
What a happy time it will be when long lost lovers meet
I wish I had wings like an aeroplane that flies in the heavens above
I wish I had wings like a little
Bluebird, I'd fly to the one that I love
