I have an old paperback Burl Ives songbook that lists the contents of 20 different LP records Burl made, but nowhere do I see anything that might be the "Robin" song requested. When I read the lyrics it doesn't 'sound' like a song he would have done....but *shrug*....there were odd recording done, I suppose, and he was prety eclectic.

(he recorded one called "Kentucky Turkey Buzzard" ...but that don't sound like a 'sweet little birdie')
