message to martha (kentucky bluebird)
jay & the americans
spread your wings for new orleans
and take a message to martha
she sings each night in some cafe
in her search to find wealth and fame
i hear martha has gone and changed her name
it's a year since she was here
and take a message to martha
tell her i love her more each day
as the train pulled out down the track
martha promised she'd soon be coming back
tell her how my heart just breaks in two
and even though her dreams of fame fell through
to me she will always be a star
spread your wings for new orleans
and take a message to martha
tell her to start for home today
when you find her please let her know
i will always love her so
