Red Winged Black birds

Jesse likes a sparrow

Jesse likes a Whippoorwill

Jesse likes the sound through the window of a mockingbird late at night



And if that Mockingbird don't sing

Mama gonna buy you a diamond ring



Jesse likes wind

Jesse likes water

Jesse likes the sky

Jesse likes kids

Jesse likes the sound from the window of a car passing by



And if that Mockingbird don't sing

Mama gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass

Mama gonna buy you a looking glass



Jesse likes drums

Jesse likes fire

Jesse likes the soul

Jesse likes parades

Jesse likes the sound through the window in the distance of a soul parade



And if that mocking bird don't sing

Mama gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass

Mama gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke

Mama gonna buy you a billy goat



But if that mockingbird don't sing

Jesse don't need no diamond ring

Jesse need the sound of his mamas voice



She says Jesse likes birds

Red Winged Black birds

And Jesse likes a sparrow

Jesse likes a whippoorwill

Jesse likes a mockingbird
