Come all you tender hearted Your attention I will call I’ll tell you how it started Come listen one and all 
Last Wednesday night, there was a light Seen shining on a hill A mother wept with all her might While everything was still 
She went into a neighbor’s house Some hundred yards away She sat down and she talked with them But she did not mean to stay 
Don’t stay too long dear mother there For we’ll be lonesome here I’ll get some liniment she said Then I’ll return again 
But when she started home again Her house was in a flames She cried, Oh Lord my babies are gone And I’m the one to blame 
She burst in all asunder then And the flames rolled o’er her head She cried, Oh Lord how sad they sleep Wrapped up in a red hot flame 
Their little bones lay on the ground They both lay face to face Each other did entwine Each other did embrace
