I couldn't find this version on youtube so i uploded it with some random pics of Mr King!
Enjoy! :)
Sometimes I get impatient
but she cools me without words
and she comes so sweet and so plain
my hummingbird and have you heard
that I thought my life had ended
but I find that it's just begun
cause she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
oh she's little and she loves me
too much for words to say
when I see her in the morning sleeping
she's little and she loves me
to my lucky day
hummingbird don't fly away
When I'm feeling wild and lonesome
she knows the words to say
and she gives me a little understanding
in her special way
and I just have to say
in my life I loved a woman
because she's more than I deserve
and she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
oh she's little and she loves me
too much for words to say
when I see her in the morning sleeping
she's little and she loves me
to my lucky day
hummingbird don't fly away

My Son passed away a week ago and yesterday a Hummingbird visited me on my porch. A sign.
God bless you
Leon Russell on piano. BB told Leon he wanted to cover his song Hummingbird and invited him to come down and play for the album. What a combination: BB King and Leon Russell!
RIP BB King
I heard the story this way: BB was searching for the “right” follow-up 45, after his hugely successful “The Thrill Is Gone.” One night at about 3AM, he heard “Hummingbird” and decided this would be it. He called around, got Leon’s phone number, and called, not caring how late it was. He asked Leon if he could record “Hummingbird” and Leon answered “Only if I can play piano on it.” Of course he imprinted his influence in it as you would expect, even to having the girls background vocals to match the background on his original version on the legendary “Leon Russell” album. Both men were geniuses. I imagine they’re playing together now that they both have transitioned to the higher ground.
Dear B.B.- Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....for every second of music you've left us to remember you by.Rest in peace.Sincerely,the entire world.
respectfully and wonderfully stated. BB was an integral part of my music life. Thank God his music lives.

BB still is King !! Heaven gained a lot when he entered the gates!!!
Best version, one of BB's most beautiful songs.
What an awesome human. We still love you, B.B.
I remember every single vibration now from then as it passed a minute, not even 10 years. This is the fact: a hummingbird a story has been told. I used to listen to this song when I was little. Now, I'm still in exact time with it.
Thank you BB King for making a thousand thoughts simplified with a few true words.
I grew up listening to bbking music when my parents were alive and i seen him concert it took my breathe away and it reminded me of living in vallejo with my family his music i will always love to this day
One of my favorite songs to play on guitar, the ending gets me every time!
The great Leon Russel as composer! It's his style all over with bb kings
Sometimes, I get impatient but she cools me without words
And she comes so sweet and softly, my hummingbird
And have you heard that I thought my life had ended
But I find that it's just begun cause she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give, I'm talking about that hummingbird
[Chorus ]
Oh, she's little and she loves me too much for words to say
When I see her in the morning sleeping
She's little and she loves me to my lucky day
Hummingbird, don't fly away
[Verse 2]
When I'm feeling wild and lonesome, she knows the words to say
And she gives me a little understanding in her special way
And I just have to say, in my life I loved a woman
Because she's more than I deserve and she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give, I'm talking about that hummingbird
[Chorus]
Oh, she's little and she loves me too much for words to say
When I see her in the morning sleeping
She's little and she loves me to my lucky day
Hummingbird, don't fly away
My boyfriend of many years gave me this song as it says it reminds him of me… then he left me 😢😢😢😢
Still hurts.. but I love this song & BB raw emotion
RIP Blues Master! This is my favorite song. My late husband plays this when we would travel to the casinos in Tunica. Warms my heart!
RIP to the king, the great ambassador of the Blues. Bless you, BB. And mostly THANK YOU.
Man this IS the best version of this song....... period
the best version I ever heard of a beautiful song
He' s up in heaven with my mom and dad .. Thy loved his music rite nw there up in heaven dancen the nite away. Rip mom, dad and the late great b.b king
It's so sad to have let you fly away BB. You were the King. So long eternal star of ours...
Now this is what I call Timeless Music!
I will always miss BB
Thank you for all of your beautiful music, thoughts & expressions! There'll never be another B.B. King. We'll miss you...R.I.P..
Today we lost BB King and with him the last of the blues greats. If you like fleet fingered guitar BB was great at it. But he was a magical musician. One of the all time greats.
Richard Taylor buddy guy is still kicking.

Para mi es una gran canción, con bonito teclado, la insuperable guitarra del señor B.B. su excelente voz, y bonito coro de féminas al final.

Tribute!
We simply loved you so much.
Brutalmente belo. Adoro este tipo de música a transmitir sentimentos,tal como o nosso fado. Grande BB KING !
Now that’s some down home music.🕊
the end is everything!!
So it's maybe 1972; for some reason I remember it's afternoon, sun-lit. I'm in Chuck's room. Chuck takes out a record, plays this song It was so soft and beautiful --I had never heard anything like it though soon for years you'd be hearing on the radio juke boxes parties The Thrill is Gone which a couple years earlier had won a Grammy. it would take me years before I'd find myself digging the blues and through the blues jazz. Hope you're doing well Chuck.
RIP, we already miss you!!
this song is so great ... and now it makes me feel sad for two reasons .... but when I lesson to it my heart and my soul fly away .... thank you Leon and Riley
God Bless Leon and the King!
Beautiful
Thank you so much for posting this. All I could ever find before were live versions. The studio version is so beautiful.
Eternal Blues.... BB King the great...
The best version!!
Leon Russell’s song sang by a legend.. perfection
The song is written by Leon Russel; another great musician....
Thank you for uploading! Joe Bonamassa has given this much play of late. I falsely believed this was attributed to Leon Russell. That was a different "Hummingbird". I like this one much better, and the original is beautiful!
This is Leon’s composition. He also plays piano on it.
Goodby sir, end keep entertaining up there , in your special way. R.I.P.
RIP Leon
I love this song. It makes me think of my little daughter. Beautiful!
Gorgeous love song!
I was looking for this version on youtube for a long long time, man hahah
All the versions are great, but this one it just beautiful
RIP the King.
We need more good people in this world instead of bad people fucking up shit for others and them selfs doing dramatic shit. Bring bbking back re incarnated or some thing good as he was. Best blues guitar player of all time a true humble fun funny positive person BBKING.
Play some good blues bbking of u listening up there and bless the world with a bit of joys of this weird mad sad crazy falling apart world we live in...........
RIP guitar man!
Great version. This was originally written and recorded by Leon Russell though yall.
My fav BB song! ♡
Eu amo Blues!
Eu amo Rock!
Eu amo B B King!
And fuck bolsonaro 🤣
We are all like Hummingbirds one day we will all fly away.
my boyfriend says this song reminds him of me :D. i love it so much
I love and miss you bb
Me again, happy New Year 2022!
I miss my hummingbird
Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great performance and singing by BB on this. I realize Leon Russell wrote Hummingbird but this particular recording seems to have Leon's fingerprints on it from the beginning countdown the piano play and especially the background singers at the end. Anyone know?
Leon on piano and that is also him doing the count-in. He is also credited with arrangements and/or conducting. There is a nice part in the documentary "B.B. King: The Life of Riley" (2012) where Leon talks about this session.
Grandissssssimo bb❤
I cry every time it's ok
top of top mr King. Thank.
Wonderful song...
my fav BB song
When you've just been diagnosed with BREAST CANCER and the one person that always calms you down is already in heaven and you just wanna lay down, give up and not even think about fighting....
Then you see a HUMMINGBIRD at your window and you know it's that person saying "You better not even think about it!!!!! Get up a fight like you've never fought before!!!!"
I miss ALL my "HUMMINGBIRDS" that kept my spirits up and kept me going when I always felt down!!!!!

Best friend
Say brother Leff....you did the right thing and baby....it's too good. Thank you man....fucking awesome.
Maestro ❤
First time I heard this, absolutely lovely. R.I.P. Riley
Hummingbird Lyrics
1. 2.. 3... 4....
Sometimes I get impatient
But she cools me without words
And she comes so sweet and so plain
My hummingbird and have you heard
That I thought my life had ended
But I find that it's just begun
Cause she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
Oh she's little and she loves me
Too much for words to say
When I see her in the morning sleeping
She's little and she loves me
To my lucky day
Hummingbird don't fly away
When I'm felling wild and lonesome
She knows the words to say
And she gives me a little understanding
In her special way
And I just have to say
In my life I loved a woman
Because she's more than I deserve
And she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
Oh she's little and she loves me
Too much for words to say
When I see her in the morning sleeping
She's little and she loves me
To my lucky day
Hummingbird don't fly away
Dont fly away away
Ohhh hooo
Dont fly away away
Dont fly away away
Don't fly away away (repeat to fade)
INDEED the King of the Blues ! RIP
One of my favorite song by Mr.B.B
RIP

Good morning people. Can anybody give me some information about this particular version of Hummingbird? Like year, musicians that participated on it, discographic company and any other data. Thank you very much, from Argentina.
if you'd like to know about this particular version of hummingbird and who played on it:
look it up on Wikipedia the album called indianola Mississippi seeds 1970.
the Wikipedia page has a nice ride up and it also shows all the personnel and who played on it.
hope that can help you I know this is a year ago you made the comment but I just saw it
Honestly my favorite song. God bless you B.B. King. I pray your under Gods wing.. Such a great song. Jesus Christ don’t fly away..some of us are worth it. Liza, fly away if you must.. believe in your superstition. Careful God they try hard to fool you .. God bless you all.. Such a great song. B.B. King was the best so great. Missed but it thankfully we have his so many songs to listen to. God bless you all.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love it.

I fly away, adrift in the clouds
You know how a lot of psychotic Lennon, Beatles people say "oh my god this is the best music ever" this song does it for me.
Maybe my favorite BB King tune
Real music
That's it.
don´t fly away
