Verse 1
Did you ever hear tell, on a long time ago,
Of two pretty babes, their names I don't know?
They both strayed away, one sunshiny day,
And these two pretty babes got lost by the way.
Chorus
Pretty babes in the wood!
Pretty babes in the wood!
Did you ever hear tell of two babes in the wood?
Verse 2
Now when it was night, how sad was their plight!
The stars did not shine, the moon gave no light;
They sobbed and they sighed, and sadly they cried,
Till at last these poor babes they lay down and died.
Chorus
Verse 3
The robin so red, when he saw them lie dead,
Gathered strawberry leaves and over them spread;
And all the day long, where the green branches hung,
This pretty Bob whistled and this was his song.
Chorus
