woman of the woods lyrics
[verse 1]
many a time i’ve been woken at night
a frantic man upon my door knocking
he begs me to hurry and tend to his wife
for the child won’t be too long in coming

[verse 2]
so weary i follow him up to the farm
and there i find his young wife is labouring
i pray to the lord for one easy birth –
for the child in it’s mothers arms laying…

[verse 3]
there’s many who’d shun a woman like me
though many i have had hand in helping
when times are hardest or hope nearly lost
it’s into the the woods they come calling

[verse 4]
many a time i’ve returned home to find
a young girl on my doorstep crying
hеr face it is drawn and her belly is tight
for a child won’t bе too long in coming

[verse 5]
some girls i’ve had they’ve been barely fifteen
their bodies still too slight to carry
the lads take their pleasure and next day move on
take with them their promise to marry….
[verse 6]
there’s many who’d shun a woman like me
though many i have had hand in helping
when times are hardest or hope nearly lost
it’s into the the woods they come calling

[verse 7]
these days i’m often called into the town
to tend to the needs of the dying
when they cross over it’s me lays them out
and pray i have eased their passing…

[verse 8]
there’s many who’d shun a woman like me
though many i have had hand in helping
when times are hardest or hope nearly lost
it’s into the the woods you come calling
