Where be it Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up your wurzel tree
And I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Bugger'd if I don't get him
With a girt big stick, I'll knock him down
Blackbird, I'll have thee
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
'Ow's 'E Fadder?
Alright
All me life, I'm on the farm
Working for me keep
Tending pigs and chickens
And they cows and sheep
But every while I'm working
There's one who always mocks me
He's hiding somewhere in the trees
Blackbird, I'll have thee
Where be it Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up your wurzel tree
And I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Bugger'd if I don't get him
With a girt big stick, I'll knock him down
Blackbird, I'll have thee
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
'Ow's 'E Fadder?
Alright
Underneath the open sky
In spring, we loves to dine
We likes to 'ear the flapping
Of the misses washing line
We listens to a tuneful song
A blackbird or a tit
But on me vest and underpants
He scored a direct hit
Where be it Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up your wurzel tree
And I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Bugger'd if I don't get him
With a girt big stick, I'll knock him down
Blackbird, I'll have thee
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
'Ow's 'E Fadder?
Alright
If I goes out poaching
Or creeping through the fields
With me old retriever
A following at me heels
If I aim me shotgun at a pheasant in the hay
That bloody blackbird starts his row
And frightens him away
Where be it Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up your wurzel tree
And I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Bugger'd if I don't get him
With a girt big stick, I'll knock him down
Blackbird, I'll have thee
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
'Ow's 'E Fadder?
Alright
No longer can I sleep at night
Get peace of any kind
That bird will be the death of me
He's praying on me mind
If I chase him long enough
I'll get him by and by
And celebrate me victory
With a girt big blackbird pie
Where be it Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up your wurzel tree
And I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Bugger'd if I don't get him
With a girt big stick, I'll knock him down
Blackbird, I'll have thee
With a girt big stick, I'll knock him down
Blackbird, I'll have thee
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
'Ow's 'E Fadder?
Alright
