Bobby Bare - What Kind Of Bird Is That lyrics

What kind of bird is that The one with the bright red breast I know it can't, just can't be the robin 'Cause my love is not back yet. The one I love and wanted to marry Had to leave before she became my bride But she said she'd return before the robin would return And thern together we'd spend our lives. And she said she'd return along before the robin return And together we'd watch the leaves turn green She showed me then just how much she love me And she and I and the robin can spend the spring. So what kind of bird is that The one with the bright red breast I know it can't, just can't be the robin 'Cause my love is not back yet. So who could be playin' tricks on me By the time that I relax and countin' leaves That can't be a spring yeah surely that can't be Cause the one I love she's not with me. Oh, what kind of bird is that The one with the bright red breast I know it can't, just can't be the robin 'Cause my love is not back yet...
