I remember my mother singing this to me over 60 yrs ago

POOR LITTLE BABES IN THE WOOD

Now my dear you must know
That a long time ago
There was two little children
Their names I don't know
They were carried away
On a bright summers day
And left in the woods
As I heard some folk say

And when it grew night
The moon it shone bright
But the woods they were dim
For the moon gave no light
So they sobbed and they sighed
And they bitterly cried
And when they grew weary
They laid down and died

The robin so red
When he found they were dead
Laid strawberry leaves
And all over them spread
On a branch so strong
He sits and he sings
And this is his song
Poor Babes in the wood
How sad is the fate
Of the Poor Little Babes in The Wood


I didn't realize there is so many versions of this song nor realize how popular it is
Thanks everybody
