C/G
I curse the day she bought me that old bird
G
Squalking, talking, telling everything it ever heard
C/G F
She never would have known about Big Betty Brown and me
C/G G C
But he fowled up and told her some things you won't believe
[Verse 2]
C/G
Oh, my woman moved out on me today
G
And left that old stool pigeon parrot trembling in his cage
C/G F
I hollered from the front porch and stopped her at the curb
C/G G C/G
And the last thing I gave her was the bird
[Chorus]
C/G F
Oh, the last thing I gave her was the bird
C/G
And she returned the favor with a few selected words
F C/G
I don't have to worry now what's being overheard
C/G G C/G
'cause the last thing I gave her was the bird
[Verse 3]
C/G
She sat the cage beside her on the seat
G
And left two streaks of firestone smokin' on the street
C/G F
The neighbors ran for cover, they could see she was disturbed
C/G G C/G
'cause the last thing I gave her was the bird
[Chorus]
C/G F
Oh, the last thing I gave her was the bird
C/G
And she returned the favor with a few selected words
F C/G
I don't have to worry now what's being overheard
C/G G C/G
'cause the last thing I gave her was the bird
C/G F
Oh, the last thing I gave her was the bird
C/G
And she returned the favor with a few selected words
F C/G
I don't have to worry now what's being overheard
C/G G C/G
'cause the last thing I gave her was the bird
C/G G C/G
Yeah, the last thing I gave her was the bird
