Misc Traditional – Babes In The Woods (Guitar)

G                             C         G
My Friends have you heard how a long time ago

D                                          G
Two Little Children Whose names I don't know,

                      C
Were stolen away on a bright summer day

    D                                   G
And left in the woods I've heard people say

D                  G
Poor Babes in the woods

G                         C             G
And when it was night, so sad was their plight

D                                          G
The sun went down and the moon gave no light;

                            C
They sobb'd and they sigh'd and bitterly cried,

     D                                            G
Then the poor little things,they laid down and died

D                  G
Poor Babes in the woods

G                        C             G
And When they were dead, the robins so red,

D                                          G
Bro't strawberry Leaves and over them spread;

                        C
And all the night long, the branches among,

     D                                         G
They mournfully whistled and this was their song;

D                  G
Poor Babes in the woods
