Hello canary bird, this is a letter home

Hello canary bird, this is a letter home

Well you know I want you to fly the whole world over

And find how my baby been gettin' along



Well canary bird, when you get to Clarksdale

Please fly down on Second Street

Yes canary bird when you get to Clarksdale

Please fly down on Second Street

Well you know I don't want you to stop flyin'

Until you take the letter out to Stovall for me



Fly on, canary bird, fly on!



On your way back home, please stop by Memphis a while

Yes on your way back home, please stop by Memphis a while

Well canary bird I want you to stroll down Beale Street

And see can you see my little old angel child
