As recorded by Bobby Bare (From the 1963 Album 500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME) [Intro] Bm D G A Bm D G A [Chorus]
D                    Em       A7                      D
What kind of bird is that the one with the bright red breast

  G       A          D            Bm          G          A        D    Em
I know it can't just can't be the robin cause my love is not back yet
[Verse 1]
               A7                  D                                      G
The one I love and wanted to marry had to leave before she became my bride

A                    D               Bm                G
But she said she'd return before the robin would return

                 A           D
And with together we'd spend our lives

                          Em
And she said she'd return along before the robin return

A7                          D
And together we'd watch the leaves turn green

G             A             D               Bm
She showed me then just how much she love me

        G             A         D
And she and I and the robin can spend the spring
[Chorus]
D                    Em      A7                      D
So what kind of bird is that the one with the bright red breast

  G       A          D            Bm          G          A        D   Bb  Eb  Fm
I know it can't just can't be the robin cause my love is not back yet
[Verse 2]
                        Bb7          Eb7                                   Ab
So who could be playin' tricks on me by the time that I relax and countin' leaves

Bb7             Eb7         Cm
That can't be a spring yeah surely that can't be

Ab              Bb         Eb
Cause the one I love she's not with me
[Chorus]
Eb                   Fm      Bb7                     Eb
Oh what kind of bird is that the one with the bright red breast

  Ab      Bb         Eb           Cm          Ab         Bb       Cm Eb Ab Bb  Eb
I know it can't just can't be the robin cause my love is not back yet
