ted egan - babes in the wood lyrics
[intro]
a sad little song “babes in the wood”
people have learnt the song in many different countries
often with different tunes
this is the version we learnt
[verse]
me dears you must know
that a long time ago
there were two little children
whose names i don’t know
they were carried away
on a bright summer’s day
and left in the woods
i heard someone say
they sobbed and they sighed
and they bitterly cried
and when it was evening
they laid down and died
and the robin so red
when he saw they were dead
gathered strawberry leaves
and over them spread
and all the night long
in the branches so strong
he warbled and warbled
and this was his song
[chorus]
oh babes in the wood
oh babes in the wood
how sad was their story
oh babes in the wood
