this looks like a rather old thread, but i hope you still frequent the site and can read this. My mother sang me this lullaby when I was a child as well, but it was a slightly different version. ours is as follows:
Oh don't you remember a long time ago,
Two poor little babes, whose names I don't know
Were stolen away, one bright summer day,
And lost in the woods, so I've heard people say
Those poor little babes, so sad was their plight
The moon went down, the stars gave no light
They sobbed and they sighed, and they bitterly cried
Then those poor little babes, they laid down and died
And when they were dead, the Robin so red,
Brought strawberry leaves and over them spread
And sang His sweet song the whole night long
Those poor little babes, who'd never done wrong
hehe it still brings a tear to my eye when i hum it to myself
