W:It was on a cold and winter's night
W:When it first came down to snow;
W:I took my innocent babe all in my arms,
W:Not knowing where to go.
W:
W:How cruel was my father
W:When he turned the door on me;
W:And how cruel was my false-hearted mother
W:When she knowd how things would be.
W:
W:Come hush-a-bye, my darling son,
W:Don't you begin to cry,
W:. . .
W:. . .
W:
W:O, but did your daddy know
W:These things you're suffering from:
W:He'd roll you in his arms this night
W:And wrap you in flannel warm.
W:
W:We both jogged on together
W:Till we came to the union door,
W:. . .

W:
W:So, come all you trusting young women,
W:Take warning now I say:
W:Don't trust yourself to no young man
W:Till your heart he steals away.
W:
W:They will kiss, they'll coax and cuddle you,
W:And they'll call you to be their bride;
W:Then they'll leave you like my first love left me
W:In sorrow, grief and pain.
W:
W:O, as we feld tirred and sleepy
W:We set ourselves down to rest;
W:And we closed out eyes to the heavens above
W:And we both laid there and died.
