Words and music by Hank Snow
C My G7 ship set C sail to F Bluebird C Island
And slowly G7 drifted out to C sea
Her G7 silver C sails to F cross the C ocean
My lover's G7 lonely heart set C free.
C Then out a-{F} cross the C waves, the G7 bluebirds C came one day
Out G7 o'er the silver sea, your C message brought to me
To D sail my ship of love along the G7 moonlit bay
And D anchor in the harbor of your G7 heart.
{NC} The trade winds C there on F Bluebird C Island
Soon dried her G7 lonely tears a-{C} way
The G7 treasure C I found F broken-{C} hearted
Was locked G7 within my heart to C stay.
