When the robin builds in the holly tree,[00:00:07]
It's a sign of life, it's gentle victory.[00:00:12]
Well, today as I set to go,[00:00:18]
I saw a nest in a tree hollow.[00:00:23]
Oh Emily, you're a brave girl,[00:00:29]
With your husband gone to the other world.[00:00:34]
Sing a hymn while I light the fire;[00:00:39]
We'll be joined by a heavenly choir.[00:00:44]
Here's the tansy and the chamomile tea for you to drink,[00:00:51]
As the pain increases, well you only have to think[00:00:56]
About a baby. We'll save the baby.[00:01:01]
I placed a holly sprig by the doctor's door.[00:01:06]
He has done this well and many times before,[00:01:11]
He'll be careful which way he goes,[00:01:17]
But he's been kind to us farm widows.[00:01:22]
And this I heard just the other day[00:01:28]
That they came to buy, and you chose to stay.[00:01:33]
Soon a child will help you reap and sow,[00:01:38]
May he cast a long shadow.[00:01:44]
But you say the trials are coming, you have felt the gathering forces,[00:01:49]
And the galloping you hear is of one too many horses,[00:01:55]
But rest your head my darling girl, there won't be any danger,[00:02:00]
Any Christian ever loved an infant in a manger[00:02:05]
Saves the baby. They'll save the baby.[00:02:11]
Now the pastor comes, shakes the farmer's hand.[00:02:43]
Says, “The earth will bear like the Promised Land.[00:02:49]
You have heard the stories down below,[00:02:54]
But God will bless this farm hollow.”[00:02:59]
Now the farmer's wife shudders, pulls the shawl up to her shoulder.[00:03:13]
Every time she nears the hearth she feels a little colder.[00:03:18]
Where's the baby? There was a baby.[00:03:24]
