GUEST	Origins: Sweet Little Robin (Burl Ives) (41)	ADD: The Robin (Burl Ives)	12 Nov 25
I looked for that song for a long time, too. Here it is as I remember it. The Robin as sung by Burl Ives https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6DjeoyAhXWw Sung by Burl Ives, from the album "Walt Disney Presents Burl Ives' Animal Folk" from 1963. THE ROBIN She came to my window one morning in spring A sweet little robin, she came there to sing And the song that she sang was sweeter by far Than ever was heard on a flute or guitar. Oh robin, oh robin, oh robin redbreast, A sweet little robin, she came there to sing And the song that she sang was sweeter by far Than ever was heard on a flute or guitar. Her wing, she was spreading to soar far away Then resting a moment seemed sweetly to say, "How happy, how happy the world seems to be! Awake little man, and be happy with me." But just as she finished her beautiful song, A thoughtless young man with his gun came along He killed and he carried my robin away She'll sing never more at the break of the day. Oh robin, oh robin, oh robin redbreast, A sweet little robin, she came there to sing And the song that she sang was sweeter by far Than ever was heard on a flute or guitar.
