Lyric What Kind of Bird Is That

(Hank Cochran)

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...
