Johnny Tillotson

Johnny Tillotson (born April 20, 1939 in Jacksonville, Florida) is an American singer and songwriter. He enjoyed his greatest success in the early 1960s, when he scored 9 top-ten hits on the pop, country and adult contemporary billboard charts including "Poetry In Motion" and the self-penned "It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'". He also sang "Yellow Bird", an adaptation of the Haitian song. Johnny's version is quoted as being a favorite of the former head of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, because he and his wife had enjoyed it during their honeymoon. (BBC Interview) more »

Yellow bird way up in banana tree
Yellow bird you sit all alone like me
Did you lady friend leave the nest again
That is very sad makes me feel so bad
You can fly away in the sky away
You're more lucky than me

I also have a pretty girl she's not with me today
They're all the same those pretty girls
They make a nest then they fly away

Yellow bird way up in banana tree

Wish that I were a yellow bird I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird so here I sit got nothing I can do

Yellow bird way up in banana tree
(Yellow bird) you're more lucky than me
(Yellow bird) you're more lucky than me
(Yellow bird)
