Words and music by Hank Snow 
 
C My G7 ship set C sail to F Bluebird C Island 
And slowly G7 drifted out to C sea 
Her G7 silver C sails to F cross the C ocean 
My lover's G7 lonely heart set C free. 
 
C Then out a-{F} cross the C waves, the G7 bluebirds C came one day 
Out G7 o'er the silver sea, your C message brought to me 
To D sail my ship of love along the G7 moonlit bay 
And D anchor in the harbor of your G7 heart. 
 
{NC} The trade winds C there on F Bluebird C Island 
Soon dried her G7 lonely tears a-{C} way 
The G7 treasure C I found F broken-{C} hearted 
Was locked G7 within my heart to C stay.
