When the red-red robin, comes bob-bob-bobin, along, along

There,ll be no more sobbin,

when he starts throbin, his own sweet song.

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 walkin, thro, fields of flowers,

Rain may glisten but still. I,ll listen for hours and hours,

I,m just a kid again,Doing what i did again,

Singing a song, When the red-red robin

Comes bob-bob-bobin, along.

Harry Woods 1926 song.

gerrerd, thank you for the memories. I use to wake up on a Spring Saturday to the smell of pancakes being made by my mother and my dad singing When the Red Red Robin..

Happy times with not a care in the world. Wishing you a great day x

That’s what I was thinking it was! I always sang that to my daughter when she was young. 😊

Oops! That’s for your next message, when you found out the name of the song...

gerrerd,I have googled what the song was and it's What Can the Matter Be?", also known as "Johnny's So Long at the Fair" a traditional nursery rhyme .I used to love my mum signing it to me when I was little.x

Thank you. Here’s another song that I was given at a time I was really down and it seemed to cheer me up. Hopefully it will do the same for others.

Thanks! Seeing robins also cheers me up. Now that spring is here, I'm enjoying them again. We should all get out there among nature when we can. It lifts the spirits. (Be careful of ticks. I already pulled one out!)

This reminds me of my grandfather (now passed). Do you know who Al Jolson was? He sang this song, and many others, and my grandfather was a fan of his. Thanks for the sweet reminder. 🎶💖

Can you play any instruments Gerrerd? I have this image of you in my head as some rock star musician playing an electric guitar! Maybe even drums!

I play with my mind, tried playing the guitar but a finger injury when I was a child, stopped me playing more than 2 cords ! was always a dream of mine growing up with the beatles and stones as a kid !🎸🎸🎸
