Diana Krall - Bye Bye Blackbird * Public Enemies Soundtrack

Diana Krall has become one of my favorite female Jazz Singers and I have selected this next song, which is a song published in 1924 by Jerome H. Remick and written by the American composer Ray Henderson and lyricist Mort Dixon. It is considered a popular standard and was first recorded by Sam Lanin's Dance Orchestra in March 1926. Many singers have sung this song, but I am partial to her rendition... See if you concur...

The video back drop includes video scenes from the movie Public Enemies...

LYRICS:

Diana Krall - "Bye Bye Blackbird"

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, winging 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 arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye

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 arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye

Written by: Mort Dixon, Ray Henderson

Enjoy!
