Kentucky Bluebird (Send A Message to Martha)

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 café, in a 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 miss her more each day
As her 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
Ask her to head for home today, when you find her please let her know
Rich or poor, I will always love her so

Fly away, Kentucky bluebird, spread your wings, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, fly away, fly away
