Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This popular song comes for the Caribbean and was originally a Haitian Creole song that was rewritten with English lyrics in the 20th century as Yellow Bird.<\/p>\n

YMI Tutor Kaela Rowan has made two videos to sing along too and some learning resources looking at the song, where it came from and exploring flags of the Caribbean and surrounding countries.<\/p>\n

Below are the song words for you.<\/p>\n

Yellow Bird Song<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yellow Bird<\/em>
Up high in banana tree<\/em>
Yellow bird<\/em>
You sit all alone like me<\/em>
Did your lady friend<\/em>
Leave the nest again?<\/em>
That is very sad<\/em>
Makes me feel so bad<\/em>
You can fly away<\/em>
In the sky away<\/em>
You\u2019re more lucky than me.<\/em><\/p>\n

You\u2019re more lucky than me.<\/em><\/p>\n
