[00:00:07] When the robin builds in the holly tree,

[00:00:12] It's a sign of life, it's gentle victory.

[00:00:18] Well, today as I set to go,

[00:00:23] I saw a nest in a tree hollow.

[00:00:29] Oh Emily, you're a brave girl,

[00:00:34] With your husband gone to the other world.

[00:00:39] Sing a hymn while I light the fire;

[00:00:44] We'll be joined by a heavenly choir.

[00:00:51] Here's the tansy and the chamomile tea for you to drink,

[00:00:56] As the pain increases, well you only have to think

[00:01:01] About a baby. We'll save the baby.

[00:01:06] I placed a holly sprig by the doctor's door.

[00:01:11] He has done this well and many times before,

[00:01:17] He'll be careful which way he goes,

[00:01:22] But he's been kind to us farm widows.

[00:01:28] And this I heard just the other day

[00:01:33] That they came to buy, and you chose to stay.

[00:01:38] Soon a child will help you reap and sow,

[00:01:44] May he cast a long shadow.

[00:01:49] But you say the trials are coming, you have felt the gathering forces,

[00:01:55] And the galloping you hear is of one too many horses,

[00:02:00] But rest your head my darling girl, there won't be any danger,

[00:02:05] Any Christian ever loved an infant in a manger

[00:02:11] Saves the baby. They'll save the baby.

[00:02:43] Now the pastor comes, shakes the farmer's hand.

[00:02:49] Says, “The earth will bear like the Promised Land.

[00:02:54] You have heard the stories down below,

[00:02:59] But God will bless this farm hollow.”

[00:03:13] Now the farmer's wife shudders, pulls the shawl up to her shoulder.

[00:03:18] Every time she nears the hearth she feels a little colder.

[00:03:24] Where's the baby? There was a baby.
