When Black Birds Get Blue © words and music by C. Stewart ( Nov. 26, 2013 ) Thirtynine black birds And one was blue His lover flew away Like you The tree is crowded But he's alone Black mama's not Coming home CHORUS... When black birds get blue They're like me and you They cry Their heart is broken Their mind is weak They cry When black birds get blue Landscape of life Brought him down Now his only friend Is a frown The tree is crowded But he's alone Black mama's not Coming home CHORUS... When black birds get blue They're like me and you They cry Their heart is broken Their mind is weak When black birds get blue
