When the Red, Red, Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin’ Along song lyrics

When the Red, Red, Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin’ Along was a 1926 popular song written, both words and music, by Harry Woods. The most successful recording of 1926 was by Al Jolson.

The song became the signature song for singer and actress Lillian Roth, who performed it often during the height of her musical career from the late 1920s to the late 1930s. It was later performed by Susan Hayward, playing Roth, in the 1955 biographical film, I’ll Cry Tomorrow.

Sing You Sinners lyrics, sung by Susan Hayward in I’ll Cry Tomorrow

Brothers, sisters
Listen to what I say
Moanin’ and groanin’
Won’t drive those blues away
Lift up your voices in song
You know you’ve all done wrong

You sinners, drop everything
And let that harmony ring
Up to Heaven
And sing, you sinners
