[Chorus]
Where be that Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up yon Wurzel tree, and I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Buggered if I don’t get ‘en
With a gurt big stick I’ll knock ‘im down
Blackbird I’ll ‘ave he
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
‘Ow’s your father?
Alright!
[Verse 1]
All me life I’m on the farm, workin’ for me keep
Tendin’ pigs and chickens, and they cows and sheep
But everywhere I’m workin’, there’s one who always mocks me
He's hidin' somewhere in the trees, blackbird I’ll ‘ave he
[Chorus]
Where be that Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up yon Wurzel tree, and I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Buggered if I don’t get ‘en
With a girt big stick I’ll knock ‘im down
Blackbird I’ll ‘ave he
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
‘Ow’s your father?
Alright!
[Verse 2]
Underneath the open sky in spring we loves to dine
We likes to ‘ear the flappin’ of the missus' washin’ line
We listens to a tuneful song, a blackbird or a tit
But on me vest and underpants he scored a direct hit
[Chorus]
Where be that Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up yon Wurzel tree, and I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Buggered if I don’t get ‘en
With a girt big stick I’ll knock ‘im down
Blackbird I’ll ‘ave he
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
‘Ow’s your father?
Alright!
[Verse 3]
If I goes out poachin’, a creepin’ through the fields
With me old retriever a-followin’ at me heels
If I aim me shotgun at a pheasant in the hay
That bloody blackbird starts his row and frightens him away
[Chorus]
Where be that Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up yon Wurzel tree, and I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Buggered if I don’t get ‘en
With a girt big stick I’ll knock ‘im down
Blackbird I’ll ‘ave he
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
‘Ow’s your father?
Alright!
[Verse 4]
No longer can I sleep at night, get peace of any kind
That bird’ll be the death of me, he’s preyin’ on me mind
If I chase him long enough, I’ll get ‘en by and by
And celebrate me vict’ry with a girt big blackbird pie
[Chorus]
Where be that Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up yon Wurzel tree, and I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Buggered if I don’t get ‘en
With a girt big stick I’ll knock ‘im down
Blackbird I’ll ‘ave he
With a girt big stick I’ll knock ‘im down
Blackbird I’ll ‘ave he
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
‘Ow’s your father?
Alright!
Where be that Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up yon Wurzel tree, and I be after he
Now I sees he, and he sees I
Buggered if I don’t get ‘en

Blackbird I’ll ‘ave he
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
