Mockingbird Blues
Harmony Amidst Strife: Unveiling the Soulful Tale of Mockingbird Blues
Lyrics
Dont bite the hand that feeds you
Caution against harming those who support or provide for you.
Dont steal those words right out of my mouth
Discouragement from taking credit for someone else's words.
You know I'd love to believe you when you say you'd never let me down
Expressing a desire to trust in assurances of loyalty.
Don't mock on me Mr Mockingbird you old crow
Admonition to a mockingbird, symbolizing negative influences.
Don't hangout by my window
Warning against lurking or eavesdropping near the speaker's window.
It ain't no place to get your daily news
Rejecting the idea that the speaker's window is a reliable source of information.
Just because I'm a happy man doesn't mean I can't sing the blues
Acknowledging the ability to feel sadness despite being generally content.
Don't mock on me Mr Mockingbird you old crow
Reiteration of the warning to the mockingbird, emphasizing disdain.
I hear you talking, sound more like squawking to me
Observation that the mockingbird's speech is irritating or nonsensical.
You ain't no nightingale just an old crow to me
Downplaying the mockingbird's significance, comparing it unfavorably to a nightingale.
I hear you talking, sound more like squawking to me, you know it do
Repeating the idea that the mockingbird's speech is bothersome and disagreeable.
You ain't no nightingale just an old crow to me
Reiterating the comparison of the mockingbird to an unpleasant crow.
Don't eat, don't drink nor be merry
Advising against indulgence in joy if it will be spoiled by negativity.
If all you plan to do is rain on my parade
Discouraging festivities if they will be ruined by the mockingbird's influence.
You know ever since you've come around here, I haven't seen a blue sky in days
Attributing the absence of joy and positivity to the mockingbird's presence.
Don't mock on me Mr Mockingbird you old crow
Repeating the plea for the mockingbird to refrain from mocking.
Don't mock on me Mr Mockingbird you old crow
Restating the plea, reinforcing the speaker's desire for peace.
Don't mock on me Mr Mockingbird just leave me alone
A final plea for the mockingbird to leave the speaker undisturbed.
