Lyrics:
Pretty wings
You're the prettiest thing
You're like Parker Posey in a magazine
With faded jeans and a crop top back in '93
I wanna be your dressed in black
Your dark star with a backwards hat
I'm gonna write you a book and put your name on every page
Every page
Hey pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs
There's already rain on my window
I'm dying when the morning comes
Flew away in the night with a raven
And now I'm underneath the willows hanging
I'm too strung out to be upside down
Pretty little mockingbird sing your song
I was the desert honey you were the sand
I was a bird baby you were the branch
I flew into the blue and watched those flowers dying
It wasn't much just everything
You could have sat right there and got high with me
But you fell asleep and your dreaming brought the nightmares
Brought the nightmares
Hey pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs
There's already rain on my window
I'm dying when the morning comes
Flew away in the night with a raven
And now I'm underneath the willows hanging
I'm to strung out to be upside down
Pretty little mockingbird sing me a song
Yeah pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs
There's already rain on my window
I'm dying when the morning comes
Flew away in the night with a raven
And now I'm underneath the willows hanging
I'm to strung out to be upside down
Pretty little mockingbird
Pretty little mockingbird sing me a song

Her music actually really helps with my anxiety, and makes me a little less homesick when I'm far away from the place I knew.

[@riobravomultimedia4104]

Damn. She is perfect…..

[@DavesCoverSongs]

Listening to this as I wait to be put under for a minor surgery. This definitely helps with the nerves. What you do matters.

[@wildrosecece]

🙏🙏🙏

[@sharonmickey4566]

Sending healing thoughts...

[@dianeaishamonday9125]

Healing energy for u 💚💚💚

[@randalbladel2817]

Definition of minor surgery: Surgery on someone else.😉

[@DavesCoverSongs]

Randal Bladel :)

[@joeyholloway6802]

All these years later and I’m still in love with her voice

[@Larissa-mi9ut]

Just crying in my car listing to this. Thank you. Love Runaway, Annabelle Lee, Jacqueline, and Ring Them Bells.

[@fern_arable]

I'm just so happy to live in the same world and time with you, Sarah.

[@antlersgray]

What a lovely way to spend a few minutes this morning. Thank you. 😊

[@jameshitchens9045]

This young lady is a gift!

[@mynamismudd4883]

Her voice just keeps getting more beautiful the older she gets. Also she has amazing musical taste.

[@mrederbass]

Anyone else keep coming back to this one?

[@sharonmickey4566]

Her covers and all her online stuff during Covid has been a joy! She is incredible. :)

[@wildrosecece]

I totally love this I’m going to try to do it.

[@willofthenorth1]

just love this young ladies voice, so soft and sweet

[@alfberisso]

and her guitar-playing is just masterful..

[@jasonpauldegraaf]

Funny, as Id describe her voice as strong and clear

[@wildrosecece]

Well that is absolutely unbelievably fantastic. I have no words, except inspired...

[@robrobinson1175]

My top three female singers: Linda Ronstadt, Alison Krauss, and new to my list - Sarah Jarosz. I love this! Thank you!

[@willykayak]

Not to shabby company.....

[@alisonlatimer4088]

Sarah's voice is so beautiful and she is a true artist.

[@jasonpauldegraaf]

Wow, wow, wow, Wow, WOW!!!

[@MrDoc-xi4jz]

Just Like Butter on Toast as it Melts into the Bread. Amazing. Gorgeous. Sings to the soul and spirit

[@tracylee4297]

My goodness-Play that thang, gurl!

[@elprof1299]

That was achingly beautiful.

[@riobravomultimedia4104]

These all need to be made into an album please…

[@Mystic-ql7qg]

What a grasp of the guitar!

[@francisconsole3892]

How could even 21 people dislike this talented angel?

[@sharonmickey4566]

She just won a Grammy too! :)

[@maryd9387]

Jealous people

[@jamesmccarry459]

Sarah must be an angel that got lost over the rainbow. No one human could produce this much divine music.

[@virginiadodge6733]

Might be my favorite Thursday cover yet. Thank you for being the voice of my generation. Your music has shifted my worldview, and I'm better for hearing it.

[@rogertaylor1200]

It just doesn't stop - your wonderful musicianship - BADASS playing and heartfelt and beautiful singing. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us!

[@sjgrn]

A duet with you and Ruston would be fantastic!!! Both of you are so extremely talented!

[@smiaaron]

I look forward to these covers all week. Great song selection + incredible talent = magic.

[@danielgrenier2417]

Have I told you lately how much I love you and your music, Sarah Jarosz?

[@aurelienbourgue3897]

Manifique. Je ne comprends pas toutes les paroles mais cette jeune femme a une voix surprenante et à l air d avoir une belle âme. Belle soirée

[@dianeaishamonday9125]

C'est vrai, Sarah est la meilleure! Welcome to the fan club 😁

[@majorpain1251]

Not sure there is a song Sarah can't make better.

[@johnkimball6951]

I think this is very special!

[@kotadaken9832]

Sadly no harmonica

[@davecherry4230]

I could never...never undercut the concerts that Sarah, Chris Thile, I'm With Her, Punch Brothers & so so many others have continued on their own since APM pulled the plug on Live From Here Summer 2020, but I would gladly invest zillions to bring that show back to prominence. Guess now I need zillions.... This would also require 50 + PBS stations to get on board...that's what I want. A free live feed to students...homes...and other fans across the realm. This cover song is so damn beautiful. Guess I need to get to work...

[@nickrobinson5799]

Talented to the Max. Off the charts.

[@robsteros1]

One of the great inequities in life is that KZbin will let me “like” this only the once. So delicate, so ethereal, Sarah, you speak with your soul when you sing this song……

[@williamkeaton9654]

You sing your best when you hold a darling string instrument ❤

[@markfarrow8232]

Awesome so Beautiful 😍

[@JudeFergy]

Your weekly covers always brighten my day. Thank you for being such an amazing artist.

[@sharonmickey4566]

me too. :)

[@spicycurry1190]

So beautiful!!! Much love from South Korea. You just made my night. Thank you. :)

[@jamesbusse1543]

she sings like my granddaughter.. I am blessed.

[@jeffanderson8384]

Brilliant!! So talented.

[@snowsnow007]

What the songs you singing is the best songs and sound that I never heard. I like the natural voice so much.

[@fearless4711]

I had been a fan for years. Love this series Sarah, fantastic and outstanding.

[@gjgunther]

Sarah is great and she is covering my current favorite singer songwriter Ruston Kelly.

[@richardlynch5632]

Thanks again 👍😎❤🖖 Under your spell👍😎

[@debrabish1494]

Yes, I do like you and your music, so very much ! Thank you.

[@demonfandango]

Beautiful.

[@rkschwe09]

You are a blessed gift from above.

[@Gman-df5ft]

That was beautiful. We love you Sara. Thanks 😊 Greg

[@Zeekos126]

So good!

[@Dulcimerea]

If I die without a will I want my Waterloo to go to Sarah Jaroscz I'd be honored to know she played it. I think she's just wonderful.

[@robertphilips2940]

So good it gave me goose bumps, loved it listening through my Westone um 50s. She's great

[@jimsvideos7201]

I don't know what it would be to make an album of these but I'd gladly invest in one.

[@ke6197]

That was awesome,thank you Sarah

[@riobravomultimedia4104]

This woman needs to be on more people’s radar…

[@ljohnson5978]

All around awesome. I love your guitar playing always!

[@TurdcutterBIA]

I love her sweet voice and great guitar. I saw her as a suggestion before and look forward to buying as much of her music as I can get my hands on.

[@juliocezarmaffezzolli8445]

You intercept with the soul. Pretty. Hugs from Brazil. 🌹🌹

[@joarean]

Thanks so much! Your musicality is beyond words.

[@jakedean278]

hello Sarah....WE LOVE YOU... i play acoustic and electric (Taylor, Fender Strat) since the 60's. You are the first person that comes close to Paul Simon's proclivity to writing 'well written' songs, with everything (including bridges) in the correct sequence, and your words are as good as the greatest poet who ever lived. Keep up the great work, and don't get influenced by the "Boss" Tweed type of people who show you a fist full of C-notes, just to let you not have the rights to your music. That has happened to a LOT of people, including the Beatles and Tom Petty, but both were lucky enough to break their contracts. Make sure you keep your money, it is yours not theirs!

[@raysun2be]

Lovely tune. Thanks for sharing your music with us,

[@wfenwick]

Thanks for sharing your talent Sarah. I hope when all this is over you come to Canada, we'd love to see you next summer at Bluesfest.

[@Bubbapilot]

Holy crap...that talent is a gift from God.

[@howard6798]

Listening to this is like a cool drink of water after working under a scorching sun...thanks for a few moments of refreshment, Sarah. Love your music. Someday (hopefully with Chris Thile or with your "I'm With Her" friends) I'll get to see you in concert.

[@nissi.k]

Thanks you pretty little Sarah keep singing us songs! ✨🤍✨

[@ravenfeather1467]

Beautiful as always, Sarah. Thank you!

[@wildlifedoc]

makes me smile - thank you Ms. Jarosz!

[@willb5240]

I couldn't think of anyone better to cover this song. Awesome Sarah.

[@evanspannknebel9492]

You never cease amazing me.

[@ScotTheGr8]

Wonderful!

[@marioechaniz]

I've listened this song today and a few hours later I listen to you... beautiful cover, beautiful voice... Thank you

[@DocBism]

Perfection

[@jimtricktv]

Wow!!!!!!! Such a great job.

[@nickbalm]

No two ways about it, Sarah Jarosz is a genuine treasure. While I hope she continues to work with the Live from Here family & I'm With Her, I really think she's destine for much bigger things long term. I hope all her dreams come true.

[@donbattos6249]

I’ve been loving and listening to you since you were on acoustic guitar sessions!

[@glenn1075]

gorgeous, thank you

[@donnabutts1932]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@wildrosecece]

She is amazing

[@DerekNichols-gy1mc]

That sounds incredible!!

[@brianolive]

Beautiful!

[@anitabarnes2889]

Sarah Jarosz's cover of Ruston Kelly's "Mockingbird" truly does justice to the original!

[@mikebaddeley]

Great cover. I love how you flip the plectrum into you fingers on the chorus! I've never seen that before. I'll give it a go.

[@northvillefolk7730]

Sensational!!

[@emilybreeden6285]

I love this so much ❤️

[@zzames]

Lovely!

[@jgp8314]

Simply gorgeous. SJ is a sunny spring day in a dark gloomy year.

[@maryd9387]

Loved this❤️

[@srnorris58]

All of these are simply gorgeous and delicious. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing these gifts with us. Keep it up, forever, please.

[@georgemilstead2156]

Wonderful job Sarah. The sung note used at 1:39 was really well chosen. Thank you!

[@dkes53]

My god. This is absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing.

[@johnhalverson1133]

Just a simple thank you Sarah. You soothe my soul.

[@michaeltheaney]

Wow! What a performance!

[@sepiaraven]

Love this song, great cover

[@rstoltz]

Every cover song you sing I enjoy more than the original. Your talent is beyond compare.

[@charlesfritter9686]

Sarah and a guitar, a little slice of Heaven for me. Now I'm in a good mood again.

[@rahang4126]
