Oh, a woman and she [F#] lived alone
And [F#] babies [G#m] she had three
She sent [F#] them away to the North Country
To learn, [C#] _ _ not been gone
_ _ Scarcely six weeks to the day
When death cold air spread through [F#] the land
And swept them babies away
_ She [F#m] prayed to the Lord in the heaven [G#] above
Wearing a starry crown
Oh, send [F#] to me my three little babes
Tonight's _ _ very close to Christmas time
The [G#] night was long and cold
And the very next morning at the break of day
[C#] Them babies come a-running [F#m] home
She set the table for them to eat
[G#] Upon it spread bread and wine
Come eat, come drink, [C#] my three little babes
Come eat, come drink of mine
Oh, mother we cannot eat your bread
[G#] Neither can we drink your wine
For tomorrow morning [F#] of day
[C#] Our Savior must [F#] be June _
[F#m] _ She made the bed in the back of my room
[C#] Upon it she spread a [E] sheet
[G#] Upon the top a golden spread
For to help them babes to sleep _
_ Rise up, said [F#] the elder
_ Rise up, rise [C#m] up, said she
For tomorrow [G#] morning at the break of day
Our Savior must be seen
_ _ Cold clouds of clay roll over our [D#] heads
Green grass grows on our [C#] feet
And thy sweet tears, my mother [G#] dear
Will wet our winding sheet _ _ _ _ _
