VERSE 1
O, don't you remember
A long time ago
Two poor little babes
Their name I don't know
Were strolling away
One bright summer day
An' lost in th woods
I've heard peole say
VERSE 2
An' when it was night
So sad was their plight
Th moon had gone down
An' th stars gave no light
They sobbed an' they cried
An' bitterly cried
Poor babes in th woods
They laid down an' died
VERSE 3
An' when they were dead
Th robbins, so red
Brought strawberry leaves
An' over them spread
An' all th night long
They sang their sad song
Poor babes in th woods
Poor babes in th woods
