God Rest Ye , Merry Gentlemen |
| 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 |
