Thread Name: Lyr Req: Children in the Wood
Subject: ADD Version: Babes in the Wood
My parents used to sing a song to me when I was a child called Babes in the Woods. Words follow:

BABES IN THE WOOD

Well do you remember a long time ago
of two little babes their names I don't know
went strolling through the woods
one bright summer day
and lost in the woods, I've heard people say.

And when it grew night so sad was their plight
the moon went down, the stars gave no light
They sobbed and they sighed and they bitterly cried
poor babes in the woods they laid down and died.

And when they were dead the robin so red
took strawberry leaves and over them spread
and all the night long he sang them a song
Poor babes in the woods, poor babes in the woods.
