[Chorus]
Pack up all my cares and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar is sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird

[Verse 1]
No one here can love and 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

[Chorus]
Pack up all my cares and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar is sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird

[Verse 2]
I said, no one here could love and understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
So, make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye

[Outro]
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird,I said blackbird
I said blackbird,Oh, blackbird, bye, bye

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
