GUEST,Wilma Plake Origins: Poor Babes in the Woods (79* d) RE: Origins: Poor Babes in the Woods 27 Aug 10


I have been searching for this song for many years. My mother sang it to me in the late 30's/40's in a little three room home in the country while I sat on her lap as she rocked me. No one in my family remembered it except me, but I could'nt remember all the words. All I could remember was: O don't you remember along time ago, three little babes whose names I don't know, were stolen away on a bright summers day and left in the woods I heard people say, and when it grew dark so sad was their plight----the rest was something about strawberry leaves and birds and how they died. Can i purchase this on cd or tape somewhere? I want to sing it to my grandchildren and let my family hear the song they can't remember..
