There was a night and a lady bright [00:00:03]
And three little babes had she [00:00:11]
She sent them away to a far country [00:00:18]
To learn their grammary [00:00:26]
[00:00:33]
They hadn't been gone but a very short time [00:00:41]
About three months and a day [00:00:49]
When the lark spread over this whole wide world [00:00:56]
And taken those babes away [00:01:04]
It was on a cold cold christmas night [00:01:18]
When everything was still [00:01:27]
And she saw her three little babes come running [00:01:34]
Come running down the hill [00:01:42]
She set them a table of bread and wine [00:02:19]
That they might drink and eat [00:02:27]
She spread them a bed of a winding sheet [00:02:34]
That they might sleep so sweet [00:02:42]
'Take it off take it off' cried the eldest one [00:02:49]
'Take it off take it off' cried she [00:02:57]
'For I shan't stay here in this wicked world [00:03:04]
When there's a better one for me' [00:03:12]
'Cold clods cold clods inside my bed [00:03:27]
Cold clods down at my feet [00:03:34]
The tears my dear mother shed for me [00:03:42]
Would wet my winding sheet' [00:03:50]
