Missouri Birds

John Stewart

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 thе world Susanna
I'll come back and tell you what I've seen

Missouri birds flying ovеr St. Louis
Hear that song they're singing to me
Go into the world, while you're young
