Surprisingly, the lyrics to many of the great old tunes can be 
found on the 'net.    Lyrics for the Red Red Robin you mention 
can be found at:

http://www.cfhf.net/lyrics/red-rowe.htm

The trick is to go into Google Advanced, key in a song title in 
quotes, add the search word "lyrics" and many sites will emerge, 
mostly for karaoke.     Within Google Advanced, I got 12,600 
hits by doing a search on:

"red red robin" lyrics

Very simple.    The Google Search engine is very good for this 
sort of inquiry.     Yet another example of the magic and power 
of the internet.

Regards,

Terry
