Missouri Birds
Missouri birds flying over old St. Louis
Hear that song they're singing to me
Go into the world while you're young
But the preacher's words
Echo from the old church steeple
Stay here with the decent people
Settle down and merry while you're young
If I go into the world, Susanna
Oh, will you wait for me?
And if I go into the world, Susanna
I'll come back and tell you what I've seen
The seeds have change
Blow across the churchyard to me
Tombstone faces see right through me
Today's so soon, tomorrow and you're old
If I go into the world, Susanna
Oh, will you wait for me?
And if I go into the world, Susanna
I'll come back and tell you what I've seen
Missouri birds flying over old St. Louis
Hear that song they're singing to me
Go into the world while you're young
Hear that song they're singing to me
Go into the world while you're young
But the preacher's words
Echo from the old church steeple
Stay here with the decent people
Settle down and merry while you're young
If I go into the world, Susanna
Oh, will you wait for me?
And if I go into the world, Susanna
I'll come back and tell you what I've seen
The seeds have change
Blow across the churchyard to me
Tombstone faces see right through me
Today's so soon, tomorrow and you're old
If I go into the world, Susanna
Oh, will you wait for me?
And if I go into the world, Susanna
I'll come back and tell you what I've seen
Missouri birds flying over old St. Louis
Hear that song they're singing to me
Go into the world while you're young
