ROBIN REDBREAST
By: J.M. Hubbard
American ballad, 1859
Key: A

 -3 4* 6   6   -6* 7* -7   6
Good-bye, good-bye to sum-mer
 6  -6*  6   -5    -5  -5  -5
For the sum-mer’s near-ly done
-5   6  -5    5*   5*  5*  5*
For the sum-mer’s near-ly done
 6   7* -7   -8  -8    8*  -8
The gar-den smil-ing faint-ly
-6*-8 -7   -7 -77* -6*7* -7
Cool breez-es  in  the  sun
6-7   -7   7*  7*  7*  7* -6*
The thrush-es now are sil-ent
 7*  -6*  6     6   6  6
Our swal-lows flown a-way
 6   6  -8   6   6   6   6    6
But Rob-ins here in coat of brown
 6   6   -7    6     6    6
And scar-let breast-knot gay
6-7 -7  7*   7* 7*  7*   7*
Oh  Rob-in, Rob-in Red-breast
7*  -6* 6    6  6   6
Oh  Rob-in, Rob-in dear
6   -7  -7  -8   -8   8*  -9
Oh, Rob-in sings so sweet-ly
-6* -8  -7  -7 -77*-6*7* -7
In the fall-ing of the year
