C
A bluebird a wingin' his lonely way south

G7                        F            C
Tryin' to escape from the cold and the drought


He's all alone in the cold grey sky

G7                  F   G7  C
Fly little bluebird fly fly fly


F                    C
North wind a blowin' oh so cold

                                     G7
Poor little birdie's so brave and so bold

C
He just keeps a flyin' for a southern sky

G7                  F   G7  C
His only hope is to fly fly fly




Well he's not the only one that's on that trail

G7              F          C
This ole boy he just broke jail


Always a runnin' always afraid

G7                             F    G7   C
The good Lord above knows I've paid paid paid


F                     C
Train whistle moanin' oh so low

                               G7
And I don't even know where to go

C
I just keep a following the risin' sun

G7                 F   G7  C
My only hope is to run run run




Well I would like to give up and turn myself in

G7                          F         C
But they would only bury me under the pen


So I'll keep a running until the day I die

    G7                                F   G7  C
The thought of this it makes me wanna cry cry cry


F                     C
Train whistle moanin' oh so low

                               G7
And I don't even know where to go

C
I just keep a following the risin' sun

G7                 F   G7  C
My only hope is to run run run
