Babes in the Wood

Oh don't you remember

A long time ago

Those two little babies

Their names I don't know

They strayed far away

One bright summer's day

Those two little babies

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 long

And the night coming on

Those two little babies

Sat under a stone

They sobbed and they sighed

They sat down and cried

Those two little babies

They laid down and died

Pretty babes in the wood

Pretty babes in the wood

Oh don't you remember

Those babes in the wood

Now the robins so red

So swiftly they sped

They put up their white wings

And over them spread

And all the day long

The branches did throng

They sweetly did carol

And this was their song

Pretty babes in the wood

Pretty babes in the wood

Oh don't you remember

Those babes in the wood
