Carrier pigeon, carrier dove, fly to my darlin' and take her my
love.

Take her a message. Tell her I'm blue. Tell her I'm lonely but
faithful and true.
Carrier pigeon, carrier dove, fly to my darlin' and take her my
love.

Tell her I miss her. Say I was wrong. Tell her that we've been
parted too long.
Carrier pigeon, carrier dove, take her my heart and return with
her love.

Wrote her and phoned her, wired her, too. She never answered, so
I'm countin' on you.
Carrier pigeon, carrier dove, fly to my darlin' and bring back
my love.

Wantcha to tell her one little thing. Say that I'm holdin' that
old weddin' ring.
Carrier pigeon, carrier dove, fly to my darlin' and bring back
my love.

Fly away, pigeon, fly away, dove. Come back, pigeon. Back with
my love.
