IS A BLUE BIRD BLUE
(Dan Penn)

Conway Twitty - 1960

Also recorded by: Red Hewitt; Art Adams; Bintangs.


Well, me and my girl went out the other night
Down lover's lane we were walkin'
She said, uh, honey child
Do you love me?
Right away I started talkin'
Is a blue bird blue?
Has a cat got a tail?

Mmm, if a blue bird's blue
Then honey, I love you

Well, I held her close and kissed her
Then I looked in those big green eyes
She said, uh, hey boy
Do you love me?
I said, I wouldn't be at all surprised
Is a blue bird blue?
Can a big wheel roll?

Mmm, if a blue bird's blue
Then honey, I love you

-Instrumental Break-

Well, she finally believed my story
Said baby, I understand
Well now, I'm gonna be your little lovin' bird
And you'll be my big lovin' man
Is a blue bird blue?
Has a bear got hair?

Mmm, if a blue bird's blue
Then honey, I love you

Ah, is a blue bird blue, baby?
Ah, tell me honey, has a bear got hair?

[Fade to End]
Ooh, can a big wheel roll?
Has a cat got a tail?
