Lyrics
There was a lady, and a lady gay Of children she had three She sent them away to the North Country For to learn their grammarie They had not been there very long Scarcely six months and a day When death, cold death come a-hastening along And stole those babes away She prayed to the lord that was in heaven Who wears a golden crown Pray, send to me my three little babes Tonight or in the mornin' soon It was just about old Christmas time The nights being cold and clear She looked and she saw her three little babes Come running home to her She set a table both long and wide On it was bread and wine Come eat, come drink my three little babes Come eat, come drink of mine We want none of your bread mother Neither do we want your wine For yonder stands our Saviour dear To His will we must resign Green gra** grows over our bed, mother Cold clay's under our feet And every tear your shed for us It wets our winding sheet
