Walkin' To Missouri
Sammy Kaye
Peaked at # 11 in 1952
Words and music by Bob Merrill, 1952
Poor little robin walkin', walkin', WALKIN' TO MISSOURI;
He can't afford to fly
Got a penny for a Poor little robin, walkin' walkin' WALKIN' TO MISSOURI
Got a teardrop in his eye
The above is the chorus for the three verses which follow:
1. I hope my story don't make you cry
But this birdie flew too high;
He flew from his old Missouri home
He fell right into the city ways, like dancin' in cabarets
From party to party he would roam
Br
BR(Chorus)
Br
BR2. He met a birdie who looked so nice
BRA real bird of paradise
BRGood lookin' but fickle in the heart
BRShe gave him kisses and gave him sighs
BRBut oh, how she told him lies
BR'Cause she loved another from the start
Br
BR(Chorus)
Br
BR3. His dreams are battered, his feathers bent
BRNow he hasn't got a cent;
BRHe feels like his heart is gonna break
BRSo if he ever walks up to you
BRPlease throw him a crumb or two
BR'Cause you could have made the same mistake
Br
