Joni Mitchell - A BIRD THAT WHISTLES lyrics

(Arrangement of the traditional work "Corrina, Corrina")

Words and music by Joni Mitchell

I took a house by the water

Took a man on a mountainside

Pretty house by the water

Lovely lover by the waterside

Last time I saw that man

He hung down his head and cried

Corrina, Corrina

Do you have to go

Corrina, Corrina

Tell me why do you have to go

Just made me come to love you girl

Now you pack your things and go

Leave me this bird that whistles

Leave me this bird that sings

I got a bird that whistles

I got a bird that's singin'

If I don't have you darlin'

Birds don't mean nothin'
