I couldn't find it on the database and would appreciate any help folks could give us. (Even the parts we THINK we remember, we remember slightly differently.) Thanks! |

Lyrics copied, merged, and edited from http://www.donaldmcdonald.co.uk/lyrics/Al%20Jolson%20-%20When%20the%20Red%20Red%20Robin.txt http://www.midnitesun.co.uk/lyrics/lyrics03/wb03p113.txt http://www.rienzihills.com/SING/w/whentheredrobin.htm (which also has a midi file) WHEN THE RED, RED ROBIN COMES BOB, BOB, BOBBIN' ALONG Written by Harry Woods, 1926 Recorded by Al Jolson 1. I heard a robin this mornin'. I'm feelin' happy today. Gonna pack my cares in a whistle. Gonna blow them all away. What if I've been unlucky? Really, I ain't got a thing. [or "I haven't a thing"] There's a time I always feel happy, as happy as a king. CHORUS: When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along, along, There'll be no more sobbin' when he starts throbbin' his old sweet song. Oh, wake up, wake up, you sleepy head. Get up, get up, get out of bed. Cheer up, cheer up, the sun is red. Live, love, laugh and be happy. What if I've been blue? Now I'm walking through fields of flowers. Rain may glisten, but still I listen for hours and hours. I'm just a kid again, doing what I did again, singin' a song, When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along. 2. Though rain may fall in the evening, and rain may fall at night, When the robin sings in the morning, I know the sun is bright. I keep still when I hear him singing up in a tree, For the little angel of gladness brings happiness to me. |
