[00:20.98] Oh, singin' out every day.
[00:28.00] Used to hear my blackbird,
[00:31.04] Oh through the bars of a Birmingham jail.
[00:37.00] Oh won't you sing about my true love,
[00:41.67] Tell me how long did she wait?
[00:46.36] Oh, before she laid down with another man,
[00:54.77] Without this ball and chain.
