Bye Bye Blackbird Lyrics

Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me.
Oh -- what hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight,
Blackbird, Bye-bye.

I just watched King Kong (only it was Martha Wainwright who sang this, I think) , this song was in there. So sad... :(

I believe it's a song about death, but I could be wrong (as usual).
