Missouri Birds Lyrics

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 thru me Today, 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 St. Louis Hear that song they're singing to me Go into the world, while you're young
