Babes In The Woods

(Album: Bo Diddley - 1958)

(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes) Baby-baby-baby-baby
Ba-ma-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes) Ra-ma-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu
Baby-baby-baby-baby

(Babes) Oh, my dear
A long time ago
Knew four little children (Babes in the woods)
Who their name I did not know
A-they was strolling away (Babes)
On a Friday summer day
And hidden in the woods (Babes in the woods)
Though I've heard plenty people say
It was two babes in the woods
(Babes in the woods) Baby-baby-baby-baby
Ba-ma-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu

I was a-walking, to my surprise
Two little babies
Right before my eyes

(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes) Ba-ma-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu
Yep-pip-pip-pip-pip-pip-pip-pip

Four, their sight
And the four, their plight
And the moon, you know
You know it didn't give no light
And the four little babes
Know they sighed
And the four little babies
Laid right down and died
It was the babes in the woods
Babes in the woods
Babes in the woods
I would take 'em home if I could

(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes) Baby-baby-baby-baby
Ba-ma-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes) Ba-ma-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu
Yep-pip-pip-pip-pip-pip-pip-pip

(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
(Babes in the woods)
