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 word echoes from the old church steeple,
    Stay here with the decent people,
    Settle down and marry while you're young.

    If I go into the world, Susanna,
    Oh, will you wait for me?
    If I go into the world, Susanna,
    I'll come back and tell you what I've seen.

    The seeds of change float across the churchyard to me.
    Tombstone faces see right through me.
    Today's so soon tomorow and you're old.

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