    It took me a couple minutes before I thought to ask why it was a bird doing the talking…

        Lyrics courtesy of this site

        Gonna pack up all my care and woe,

        Here I go swingin’ low,

        Bye bye blackbird.

        Where somebody waits for me,

        Sugar’s sweet, so is she,

        Bye bye blackbird.

        No one here can love or understand me,

        Oh what hard luck stories, they all hand me.

        make my bed and light the light,

        I’ll be home late tonight,

        Blackbird, bye bye.

        I’m gonna pack up all my cares and woe,

        Here I go singin’ low,

        Bye bye blackbird.

        Where somebody waits for me,

        Sugar is sweet, so is he,

        Bye bye blackbird.

        No one here can love or understand me,

        Oh what hard luck stories, they all hand me.

        Make my bed and light the light,

        I’ll be home late tonight

        Blackbird, bye bye.

        To be fair, the singer never talks about taking their “care and woe” with them.
