I remember this song from my childhood. Thanks for posting it!

This took me back to my childhood, sitting happily with my grandmother' on her porch glider as she sang this sweet song to me. As a much-older adult working in psychiatry, I hear this song telling us--especially those of us who struggle with depression--that although today may be very difficult, the morrow will come--and, with the morrow, the opportunity for a happier, more fulfilling life. All we gotta do is hitch our hearts, minds, and our figurative bodies to the robin.

I first heard this on a studio demo out take at Carl Stipetic's In-a-city Studio in Bradford, UK in the early 1990s. The studio owner was playing it on synth with an old slightly out of tune upright piano patch (you know the kind), in an early 1900s Victorian style. Carl was featured in the June 2000 issue of Sound On Sound Magazine.

Whispering Jack Smith--what a memorable performer! I wish he were alive today. Then we could have live music in libraries! I just love this song, by the way. Lillian Roth did a wonderful version of this when she was just starting out her career--unfortunately, I think the only existing recording of her doing it was when she was much older. But Whispering Jack Smith and his whistling accompanist do a fine job, too and I thank you for posting this!

[nightgrooveruk]

[ronbass]

My grandfather used to sing this. Of all the versions out there this is the closest to how he sang it.

Carson Robison was injured at a young age- the accident left his Tongue Split in two up the middle- This affliction turned to prosperity when Carson discovered he could WHISTLE -- IN -- VIBRATO - this very rare condition proved to be money in the bank as Carson produced over 300 recordings- this story was told to me by the son of Carson Robison - whom I knew as a friend in California in 1983

[moccalou]

@rentatrip1 I can whistle in vibrato and my tongue is just fine. His sounds a little more unusual and bird-like though. XD

[citytaxis67]

@rentatrip1 lol lol i love it when people make stuff up and others believe it .quality xxx

[rentatrip1]

@citytaxis67 The truth of the split tongue was revealed to me by Carson's son Robbie Robison-- in 1983- at Lake Elsinore California where I lived on a mountain view ranch with Robbie & his wife Jean , His historic & true documentaion was not a made up tale -
