Corrina Lyrics

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 my Corrina, sure don't mean ..., sure don't mean a natural thing

I learned to love you baby, honey for I call
Baby for I call your name, baby for I call
Honey for I call your name, I love you Corrina
It sure don't mean, it sure don't mean a natural thing

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

Lovin' In My Baby's Eyes

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 my Corrina, sure don't mean ..., sure don't mean a natural thing

I learned to love you baby, honey for I call 
Baby for I call your name, baby for I call 
Honey for I call your name, I love you Corrina 
It sure don't mean, it sure don't mean a natural thing

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Pretty sure this is just a love song about a girl named Corrina. Taj Mahal is pretty awesome. He just sort of does his thing, with that Caribbean/African/American Vibe he got going! It's the blues with Caribbean I'd say mostly. Queen Bee is another beauty. You should go see this guy if you can before he is done touring. Which maybe until he dies like BB King style. Anyway, this song compares his girl to a bird that sings. How he loves her more than any other girl, and how she should have mercy on his hard luck! Love the line about having a rainbow on his shoulder! Still learning what "natural" thing means to Taj and for this song. Any ideas?
