Kentucky Bluebird Send A Message To Martha Tab

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 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 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 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 (repeat and fade)
