lyrics:
Yellow Bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow Bird
You sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend
Leave your nest again
This is very sad
Makes me feel so bad
You can fly away
In the sky away
You're more lucky than me
I also had a pretty girl
She's not with me today
They're all the same
The pretty girls
Take tenderness
Then they fly away
Yellow Bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow Bird
You sit all alone like me
Let her fly away
In the sky away
Pick a town and soon
Take from night to noon
Black and yellow you
Like banana too
They might pick you someday
Wish that I were a yellow bird
I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So here I sit
Nothing else to do
Yellow Bird
Yellow Bird
Yellow Bird

A memory came to me a moment ago of my Grandma telling me this was her favourite song 50 years ago when I was a toddler. She put the 45 of this on the record player and said, "Listen, this is beautiful" and smiled and danced a bit. Hearing it again for the first time I'm balling like a little girl. Love you Grandma!

I was laying in bed and started humming this tune - my wife said: hey that's nice. I said its a song my grandfather used to listen to. Its been 50-years since I hummed that tune. I came on here to find it. Now our home is abuzz with 'Yellow Bird'. Thank you

Did you know that this song is a cover of a poem entitled "Choucoune" which is the work of a Haitian poet called Roswald Durand? It was written in 1883, in the text it praises the beauty of a young Haitian girl. The poem was transformed into music in 1893. And its English version which is "Yellow bird" had been arranged by Norman Luboff in 1957.

I know they will NEVER be another group like THE MILLS BROTHERS, BUT why isn't someone out in the community trying to find voices that could a least TRY to imitate them. Then perform everywhere calling it...A TRIBUTE TO THE MILLS BROTHERS. I would pay for a show like that. I would just close my eyes and enjoy such a performance.

I had the pleasure as a SF State college student to bus dishes at Sahati's Stateline Country Club in So. Tahoe. I was able to see them in 2 shows per night for 3 summers. To this day I think I can probably still sing all their songs. Memories like this just never leave.

The original version of this song is a Haitian creole poem by Oswald Durand called "Choucoune" set in music by Michel Monton around 1890 as "Ti Zwazo" (i.e. little bird"); chechk out Choucune on You Tube you will find older versions of it. Forget the Hound; back to roots!

Jeg hørte den i radioen i 1966, i et program , hvor man kunne ringe ind og fortælle lidt og ønske et stykke musik. En kvinde kom igennem og ønskede dette stykke, jeg husker hun græd i telefonen, jeg husker ikke lige hvorfor, men dette stykke får næsten tårer frem, bare ved at tænke på hende. Jeg var 15 år på det tidspunkt.
