Babes In The Woods Lyrics - Children

Oh, don't you remember, a long time ago, 

Those two little babies, their names I don't know 

They were stolen away one bright, summer's day 

And left in a wood, so I've heard folks say. 

Sweet babes in the wood 

Sweet babes in the wood 

Oh, don't you remember 

Those babes in the wood 

Now the day being gone and the night coming on 

Those two little babies sat under a stone 

They sobbed and they sighed, they bitterly cried 

Those two little babies they laid down and died 

Sweet babes in the wood 

Sweet babes in the wood 

Oh, don't you remember 

Those babes in the wood 

Now the robins so red, how swiftly they sped 

They put out their wide wings and over them spread 

And all the day long on the branches among 

They sweetly did whistle and this was their song 

Sweet babes in the wood 

Sweet babes in the wood 

Oh, don't you remember 

Those babes in the wood
