作曲：Traditional

There was a night and a lady bright

And three little babes had she

She sent them away to a far country

To learn their grammary

They hadn't been gone but a very short time

About three months and a day

To the lark spread over this whole wide world

And taken those babes away

It was on a cold cold christmas night

When everything was still

She saw her three little babes come running

Come running down the hill

She set them a table of bread and wine

So they might drink and eat

She spread them a bed of a winding sheet

That they might sleep so sweet

'Take it off take it off' cried the eldest one

'Take it off take it off' cried she

' shan't stay here in this wicked world

When there's a better one for me'

'Cold clods cold clods inside my bed

Cold clods down at my feet

The tears my dear mother shed for me

Would wet my winding sheet'
