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.
