Kentucky Bluebird Lyrics - Burt Bacharach

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
