Honey got a bird ... it would sing, baby got a bird
Honey got a bird ... it would sing
Without my Corrina, sure don't mean ..., sure don't mean a natural thing
I learned to love you baby, baby for I call
honey for I call your name, baby for I call
Honey for I call your name, I Wouldn't Trade Your Love For Money
Honey You Are My Warm Heart, Baby You Are
My Warm Hearts Flame
Have mercy, have mercy, baby on my hard luck
Honey on my hard luck soul, baby on my hard luck
Honey on my hard luck soul
I got a rainbow round my shoulder
Looks like silver, shines like Klondike1 gold
Well I love you honey, honey tell the world, baby tell the world I do
Honey tell the world I do, baby tell the world I do
Ain't no woman in fourteen counties, love me baby like the way I do
I got a bird what whistles, baby got a bird
Honey got a bird ... it would sing, baby got a bird
Honey got a bird ... it would sing
Without Corrina, sure don't mean, sure don't mean a natural thing
Corrina, Corrina, Corrina

We're 19 years old, drinking in my friend's basement. I have my girlfriend Donna with me; she's all charm and blossom-gentle beauty. My friend Max is beer-drunk. He takes Donna's hand when this song comes on and typsy-twirls her about the carpeted room. She smiles and laughs. All the while. Max is warbling "Donna-Corinna, Donna-Corinna. I'm gonna name my first born Donna-Corinna."
This is a top-ten comment of all time on RP. A wonderful story, with beautiful imagery and perfect use of our amazing language. Bravo!
a hot candidate for "worst song of all time". it´s a shame i had to waste a "1"-vote for this :-(
It's a shame you had to waste your life not appreciating Taj
Good for him. Keeping tropical birds as pets should be a crime.

That and my friend's Ford Cortina.

There's a great live album from 40 years ago with this on it called Recyclin' the Blues which I could only find on this twofer which I would get if I didn't already have both of them individually.
Absolutely great interpretation of this song... this is era when Taj found and perfected his style
Actually sounds like Keb 'Mo Senior.
It did find its way to the small screen, but only in Canada - pity eh?
(Do stay tuned to PBS stateside - you never know! They're Brit-friendly! ;-))
The Rolling Stones R&R circus is definitely worth seeing, Netflix has it. Taj really shines. The DVD has additional Taj tunes that weren't in the main production. And the Who really shows their talent. The commentary is great. But the most bizarre thing is watching Tony Iommi fake his guitar playing with Jethro Tull. I'm so glad he moved on.
This December 1968 concert film (click cover) was originally intended to air as a circus-style special on British television, but never found its way to the small screen. Hosted by the Rolling Stones, the eclectic group of performers included John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Mitch Mitchell, Jethro Tull, Marianne Faithfull, The Who, Taj Mahal and numerous circus acts such as acrobats and clowns. Featured songs include "Sympathy for the Devil," "No Expectations" and "A Quick One (While He's Away)."

love this stuff
As I recall, this originally came out on "Take a Giant Step/De Old Folks at Home" An unusual double album, in that one album was mostly pure delta blues, at which he excells, and the other was more contemporary blues, at least contemporary 30 years ago. It was one of my favorite albums for a number of years. When I first heard Taj Mahal, I assumed he was from Mississippi or some other place down in the Delta. Turns out he's from like Massachusetts, but was just an early student and disciple of the Delta Blues, and I believe that he was raised in a musical family. Anyway, the old double album was pretty good, at least back then.
Actually, no. This song came out on The Natch'l Blues in 1968 not on Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home in 1969.
And, yes, That album (Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home) is incredible, like this album.
