[Verse 1]
 G                            C            G
T’was just after Christmas I remember the year,
 G                                       D
A boy and his sweetheart sat there on a peer,
 G                           C        G
The boy, he was leaving for over the foam,
 G                                   D           G
and he said, “I’ll be back when the robins come home”.
 
 
[Chorus]
 C                             G
Well, I will be back when the robins come home,
 G                                  D
I’ll have enough money to make you my own,
 G                       C          G
Don’t be too lonely now while I am gone,
 G                             D           G
Cause I will be back when the robins come home.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 G                            C             G
The winter passed slowly, sometimes he was sad
 G                                      D
He said in his letters the weather was bad
 G                             C         G
And that me missed her while out on the foam
 G                                  D           G
And he prayed for the day when the robins come home.
 
 
[Chorus]
 C                             G
Well, I will be back when the robins come home,
 G                                  D
I’ll have enough money to make you my own,
 G                       C          G
Don’t be too lonely now while I am gone,
 G                             D           G
Cause I will be back when the robins come home.

 G                            C            G
 G                                       D
 G                           C        G
 G                                   D           G
 
 
[Verse 3]
 G                          C                G
The scooner she waited for he was coming at last
 G                                         D
But joy turned to sorrow for her flag was half mast
 G                             C            G
Teardrops were falling on the first day of spring
 G                           D         G
As tears wet his casket the robin did sing.
 
 
Chorus (repeat)
 C                             G
Well, I will be back when the robins come home,
 G                                  D
I’ll have enough money to make you my own,
 G                       C          G
Don’t be too lonely now while I am gone,
 G                             D           G
Cause I will be back when the robins come home.
 
 
[Outro]
 G                            D           G
Yes, I will be back when the robins come home
