The Babes in the Wood.
My dear, do you know,How a long time ago,Two poor little children,Whose names I don’t know,Were stolen away,On a fine summer’s day,And left in the wood,As I’ve heard people say.And when it was night,So sad was their plight,The sun it went down,And the moon gave no light!They sobbed, and they sighedAnd they bitterly cried,And the poor little things,They lay down and died.And when they were dead,The Robins so redBrought strawberry leaves,And over them spread;And all the day long,They sung them this song:“Poor babes in the wood! poor babes in the wood!And don’t you remember the babes in the wood?”

My dear, do you know,
How a long time ago,
Two poor little children,
Whose names I don’t know,
Were stolen away,
On a fine summer’s day,
And left in the wood,
As I’ve heard people say.
And when it was night,So sad was their plight,The sun it went down,And the moon gave no light!They sobbed, and they sighedAnd they bitterly cried,And the poor little things,They lay down and died.
And when it was night,
So sad was their plight,
The sun it went down,
And the moon gave no light!
They sobbed, and they sighed
And they bitterly cried,
And the poor little things,
They lay down and died.
And when they were dead,The Robins so redBrought strawberry leaves,And over them spread;And all the day long,They sung them this song:“Poor babes in the wood! poor babes in the wood!And don’t you remember the babes in the wood?”
And when they were dead,
The Robins so red
Brought strawberry leaves,
And over them spread;
And all the day long,
They sung them this song:
“Poor babes in the wood! poor babes in the wood!
And don’t you remember the babes in the wood?”
