Blue Sky

Joan Baez · Other Songs - Joan Baez

Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing,

It don't worry 'bout where it's going, no, no.

Don't fly, mister blue bird, I'm just walking down the road,

Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know



[Chorus]

You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day.

Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way,

Turn your love my way, yeah.



Good old Sunday morning, bells are ringing everywhere.

Goin' to Carolina, it won't be long and I'll be there



[Chorus]
