VERSE 1
O, do you remember
A long time ago
Three babes in th woods
Their names I don't know
Were lost one day
I've heard people say
Three babes, poor babes
Poor babes in th woods
VERSE 2
They wandered around
All over th ground
They tried to find
Their way back home
But they lost their way
I've heard people say
Poor babes, poor babes
Poor babes in th woods
VERSE 3
An when they were dead
Th robins, so red
Brought Strawberry leaves
An' over them spread
An' sing them a song
Th whole night long
Poor babes, poor babes
Poor babes in th woods
