Did you ever find the beginning of "Poor Babes in the Wood"?
My aunt sang it many years ago.

BABES IN THE WOOD

My dears do you know
How a long time ago,
Two poor little children
Whose names I don't know,
Were stolen away
On a bright summer's day
And left in the wood
So I've heard people say.

And when it was night
How sad was their plight!
The sun it went down
And the moon gave no light.
They sobbed and they sighed
And they bitterly cried.
Poor babes in the wood
They lay down and died.

And when they were dead
The robin so red
Brought strawberry leaves
And over them spread.
And all the night long
He sang them this song
Poor babes in the wood,
Poor babes in the wood.
