Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gal, where you been so long?
Corrina, Corrina
Gal, where you been so long?
I been worr'in' 'bout you, baby
Baby, please come home
I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that sings
But I ain' a-got Corrina
Life don't mean a thing
Corrina, Corrina
Gal, you're on my mind
Corrina, Corrina
Gal, you're on my mind
I was in down thinkin' of you
I just can't keep from crying
The song "Corrina, Corrina" is a classic blues song that has been covered by many artists over the years. The song is essentially a plea from the singer to his love interest, Corrina, to return to him. The opening lines of the song, "Corrina, Corrina, Gal, where you been so long?" indicate the singer's longing for Corrina and his concern over her absence. He goes on to explain that he has been worried about her and pleads for her to come home.
The second verse of the song reveals the singer's frustration at not having Corrina with him. He sings about his birds that whistle and sing, but asserts that without Corrina, life just isn't complete. The repetition of the phrase "I got a bird that whistles/I got a bird that sings" emphasizes the singer's attempt to fill the void left by Corrina's absence, but ultimately acknowledges that it just isn't enough.
The final verse of the song emphasizes the singer's obsession with Corrina. He asserts that she is always on his mind and that he can't stop thinking about her. He concludes by admitting that he can't help but cry when he thinks about her.
