Poor little Robin
Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
(He can't afford to fly)
Gotta 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 ole Missouri home
He fell right into the city ways,
Like dancin' in cabarets
From body to body he would roam

(Poor little Robin)
(Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri)
He can't afford to fly
(Gotta penny for a)
Poor little Robin
Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
Got a teardrop in his eye

He met a birdy 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
'Cos she loved another from the start

(Poor little Robin
Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri)
He can't afford to fly
(Gotta penny for a
Poor little Robin
Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri)
Got a teardrop in his eye

His dreams are batterd, 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
'Cos you could have made the same mistake

Poor little Robin
Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
He can't afford to fly
(Gotta penny for a)
Poor little Robin
Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
Got a teardrop in his eye

(Poor little Robin)
Got a teardrop in his eye
