Thread Name: Origins: Sweet Little Robin (Burl Ives)
Subject: RE: Burl Ives Robin Song
Try this trad version-
As I woke one morning When all sweet things are born A robin perched upon my sill to signal the coming morn
He was so sweet and gentle as softly he did sing sweet thoughts of love and happiness Into my heart did spring
He sang his song so sweetly Then as he paused........ a lull I gently closed the window And crushed his fucking skull
