Blackbird Pie

All hail the gates of darkness
All hail the gates of night
I’m coming a long way dancing
Singing with a twilight in my eyes
Just gimme sweet sweet lady
Another slice of your pie

Sing a song for six pence
A pocket full of rye
Ten and twelve blackbirds
Baked in a pie
Kill the king of darkness
Steal the queen of night
And down comes a blackbird
Trying to peck off your eye

Thank you for your highness
Thank you for your wine
I’m leaving before the sunrise
Traveling with the shadows by my side
Just gimme sweet sweet lady
One last kiss of good-bye

Sing a song for six pence
A pocket full of rye
Ten and twelve blackbirds
Baked in a pie
Kill the king of darkness
Steal the queen of night
And down comes a blackbird
Trying to peck off your eye

Gimme gimme
Gimme gimme
Some blackbird pie

Gotta gimme
Gotta gimme
Some blackbird pie
