If the song of the songbird, could replace my wrong word 
Then my dear, that's the song I would borrow 
And tonight you would hear the saddest song of the year 
And you'd be mine once again, come tomorrow 

2. vers;
If the song of the swallow, could reveal my sorrow 
Then my dear, he would sing just for you 
And tonight you would hear the saddest song of the year 
And you'd be mine once again, come tomorrow

Just tonight, while in flight, on your window sill daylight 
To tell you, all of my tears 
And tonight you would hear the saddest song of the year 
And you'd be mine once again, come tomorrow

3. vers:
If the song of the swallow, could reveal my sorrow 
Then my dear, he would sing, he would sing, just for you
And tonight, tonight, you would hear, the saddest song, oh, of the year 
And you'd be mine once again, come tomorrow

Oh yes tonight, tonight you would hear the saddest song of the year 
And you'd be mine, you’d be mine once again, come tomorrow

Sing sing sing sing sing, Mr. Songbird 
Come on and sing just once, little swallow 
and make her mine once again

Note: Et gammelt nummer, væsentlig ældre end Mannfred Manns version. Er i tvivl om C i 3. og 4. takt i B-stykket.
