[A] [D]
It was just after [G] Christmas I remember the [D] year,
A boy and his sweetheart sat there [A] on a pier,
[D] Tomorrow he's sailing [G] far over the [D] foam,
And he prayed for the [A] day when the robins [D] come home,
The winter passed slowly, [G] [D] sometimes he was sad,
He said in his letter the weather [A] was bad,
[D] And that he missed her while out on the foam,
And he prayed for the day [A] when the robins come [D] home,
[Em]
[G] I will be back when [D] the robins come home,
I'll have enough money to make you [A] my own,
Don't be too lonely now while I am gone,
Cause I will be back [A] when the robins come [D] home,
[A] [D]
The schooner she waited [G] for was coming at [D] last,
But joy turned to sorrow, her flag [A] was half-mast,
[D]
Teardrops were falling [G] on the first day of [D] spring,
As her tears hit his casket [A] the robin [D] did sing,
[G] I will be back [D] when the robins come home,
I'll have enough money to make you [A] my own,
[D]
Don't be too lonely [G] now while I [D] am gone,
Cause I will be back when [A] the robins [D] come home,
[G] I will be back [D] when the robins come home,
I'll have enough money to make [A] you my own,
[D]
Don't be too lonely [G] now while I [D] am gone,
Cause I will be back [A] when the [D] robins come home,
[A] [D]
