Hummingbird

by Leon Russell recording of March 6, 1971 from Live In Japan (MCA Victor MVCM-253 & MCA 11810) Sometimes I get impatient, but she cools me without words And she comes so sweet and so plain, my hummingbird and have you heard, that I thought my life had ended But I find that it's just begun, 'cause she gets me where I live I'll give all I have to give I'm talking about that hummingbird Oh she's little and she loves me, too much for words to say When I see her in the morning sleeping, she's little and she loves me To my lucky day Hummingbird don't fly away When I'm feeling wild and lonesome she knows the words to say And she gives me a little understanding, in her special way And I just have to say, in my life I loved a woman Because she's more than I deserve, and she gets me where I live I'll give all I have to give I'm talking about that hummingbird Oh she's little and she loves me, too much for words to say When I see her in the morning sleeping, she's little and she loves me To my lucky day, hummingbird don't fly away Page 1: A-B Page 2: C-E Page 3: F-H Page 4: I Page 5: J-N Page 6: O-So Page 7: Sp-The Page 8: The-W Page 9: Who-Z Created by: Bluesman Harry Page last updated on: July 16 2000

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
