Lovejoy, ILL.

Got a bird that whistles

Baby got a bird, mama got a bird that sings

Baby got a bird, mama got a bird that sings

Without my Corina, life don't mean- life don't mean a natural thing.

I love to love you

Baby 'fore I call, mama 'fore I call your name

Baby 'fore I call, honey 'fore I call your name

I wouldn't trade your love for money. Baby you're my honey, mama you're my baby I explain.

Lord have mercy!

Mama on my bad luck, baby on my hard luck soul.

Baby on my bad luck, mama on my hard luck soul.

You got a ring around my shoulder, it shine like silver, honey look like natural gold

...and I ain't jivin'

Go ahead!

(Guitar solo)

Got a bird that whistles

Mama got a bird, baby got a bird that sings

Mama got a bird, baby got a bird that sings

Without my Corina, life don't mean- life don't mean a natural thing

Corina, you know I love you.

Corina, I got to have you, babe.

I miss you, won't you come on home.

Got a bird that whistles

Baby got a bird, mama got a bird that sings

Baby got a bird, mama got a bird that sings

Without my Corina, life don't mean- life don't mean a natural thing.

I love to love you

Baby 'fore I call, mama 'fore I call your name

Baby 'fore I call, honey 'fore I call your name

I wouldn't trade your love for money. Baby you're my honey, mama you're my baby I scream.

Lord have mercy!

Mama on my bad luck, baby on my hard luck soul.

Baby on my bad luck, mama on my hard luck soul.

You got a ring around my shoulder, it shine like silver, honey look like natural gold

...and I ain't jivin'

Go ahead!
