《Three Little Babes》歌词

[00:00:03] There was a night and a lady bright

[00:00:11] And three little babes had she

[00:00:18] She sent them away to a far country

[00:00:26] To learn their grammary

[00:00:33]

[00:00:41] They hadn't been gone but a very short time

[00:00:49] About three months and a day

[00:00:56] When the lark spread over this whole wide world

[00:01:04] And taken those babes away

[00:01:18] It was on a cold cold christmas night

[00:01:27] When everything was still

[00:01:34] And she saw her three little babes come running

[00:01:42] Come running down the hill

[00:02:19] She set them a table of bread and wine

[00:02:27] That they might drink and eat

[00:02:34] She spread them a bed of a winding sheet

[00:02:42] That they might sleep so sweet

[00:02:49] 'Take it off take it off' cried the eldest one

[00:02:57] 'Take it off take it off' cried she

[00:03:04] 'For I shan't stay here in this wicked world

[00:03:12] When there's a better one for me'

[00:03:27] 'Cold clods cold clods inside my bed

[00:03:34] Cold clods down at my feet

[00:03:42] The tears my dear mother shed for me

[00:03:50] Would wet my winding sheet'
