The Bird

In the style of

Jerry Reed

Lyrics

well my throat
was dry
and it was
a-gettin' late

i was at this bar
on an interstate
when a guy
with this bird
on his shoulder
walked through
the door yeah

he proceeded to
tell me
the wildest thing
he said sir
this bird of mine
can sing

like no other bird
you have ever
heard before
well i kinda
looked at the guy
and said oh really

he turned to the bird
and said do old willie
when the bird
started singin'
i almost fell
in the floor

uh heh
well if that ain't
the durndest thing

well i thought son
what a heck of a thing
a man could get rich
makin' that bird sing
and i could feel
this wild idea
comin' on strong

and besides
i'm sittin' here with
two weeks pay and
i'd probably blow it
on beer anyway

then he said hey
wait till you
hear him sing like
george jones

he stopped
loving her today
they placed a wreath
upon his door

soon they'll
carry him away
he stopped
lovin' her today

i said well
that does it sir

yep i'd like to
buy that bird
would uh
five hundred dollars
take him off
your hands huh

well he thought
for a while and
he said alright and
he handed me the bird
and he said goodnight
he counted my money
and out the door
he ran

well i was thinkin'
i'd found
the rainbow's end
that the money
would soon
be pourin' in

when suddenly
the bird just
flew out the door
and was gone

well then it hit me
and i got boilin' mad
'cause i knew
right then
that i'd been had

and as he flew off
into the night
he was singin'
this song

somebody
stop that bird
my bird
my five hundred
dollars

huh
somebody get me a
bb gun
i want that bird

this is for the birds
buy me a drink
somebody
hey come back here
bird
