Three Little Babes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]There was a night in Lady Bride
And three little bays had [C]she
She sen[Am]t them away to [C]a far co[Am]untry
To [Dm]learn their [F]gram[Am]mar read
They hadn't been gone
but a very short time
About [C]three months [Am]and a day
Till the Lord call [C]over this
[Am]whole wide world
And [F]take those [Em]babes [Am]away[F][Am]
It was on a dark, cold Christmas night
When [C]everything [Am]was still
She saw her [C]three little
[Am]birds come running
Come [F]running [Am]down [Dm]the hill
[F][Em][Am][Dm][F][Em][Am]
She spread a table of bread and wine
So [C]they might [Am]drink and eat
She spread a [C]bed of [Am]winding sheep
That [F]they might [Am]sleep so sweet
Take it off, take it off,
ride the old and the strong
Take it [C]off, take it off said [Am]she
I can't stay [C]here in this wide
wicked [Am]world
There's a [F]man, [Em]one f[Am]or me[F][Am]
Cold clods, cold clods down by my side
Cold [C]clothes down [Am]at my feet
The tears my [F]dear [Am]mother shed for me
Would wet [Dm]my w[Am]ind
ing [Em]sheet[Dm][Am]
