| Poor little robin
|
| Walkin', walkin' walkin' to Missouri
|
| He can’t afford to fly
|
| Got a penny for a
|
| Poor little robin
|
| Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
|
| Got a teardrop in his eye
|
| I hope my story don’t make you cry
|
| But this bird flew too high
|
| He flew from his old Missouri home
|
| He fell right into the city ways
|
| Like dancin' in cabarets
|
| From party to party
|
| He would roam
|
| Poor little robin
|
| Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
|
| He can’t afford to fly
|
| Got a penny for a
|
| Poor little robin
|
| Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
|
| Got a tear drop in his eye
|
| He met a birdie who looked so nice
|
| A real bird of paradise
|
| Good lookin', but fickle in the heart
|
| She gave him kisses and gave him sighs
|
| But oh, how she told him lies
|
| 'Cause she loved
|
| Another from the start
|
| Poor little robin
|
| Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
|
| He can’t afford to fly
|
| Got a penny for a
|
| Poor little robin
|
| Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
|
| Got a teardrop in his eye
|
| His dreams are battered, his feathers bent
|
| Now, he hasn’t got a cent
|
| He feels like his heart is gonna break
|
| So, if he ever walks up to you
|
| Please throw him a crumb or two
|
| 'Cause you could have made the same mistake
|
| Poor little robin
|
| Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
|
| He can’t afford to fly
|
| Got a penny for a
|
| Poor little robin
|
| Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
|
| Got a teardrop in his eye
|
| Got a teardrop in his eye |
