PRETTY BABES IN THE WOOD



Oh, don't you remember, a long time ago

Those two little babes, their names I don't know

They strayed away one bright summer's day

Those two little babes got lost on their way



Pretty babes in the wood

Pretty babes in the wood

oh, don't you remember

Those babes in the wood



Now the day being gone and the night coming on

Those two little babies sat under a stone

They sobbed and they sighed and they sat there and cried

Those two little babes they laid down and died



Now the robins so red, how quickly they sped

They put out their wide wings and over them spread

And all the day long on the branches they thronged

They sweetly did whistle and this was their song
