GUEST,sln Origins: Poor Babes in the Woods (79* d) RE: Lyr Req: poor babes in the woods 12 Dec 06


here's the way my mom used to sing it to me. (it's interesting reading the different versions).


Oh don't you remember
A long time ago
Two little babes
There names I don't know

Were stolen away
On a fine summer's day
And left in the woods
So I heard people say.

And when it was night
So sad was the sight
The moon it went down
And the stars gave no light

They sobbed and they sighed
And they bitterly cried
Poor babes in the woods
They lay down and died.

And where they were dead
The Robin so red
Brought strawberry leaves
And over them spread

And all the day long
They sang in the tree
"Poor babes in the woods
Poor babes in the woods".
