Mother's Lament Lyrics

	作曲 : Traditional
	作词 : Traditional
	Are we rolling?
	A one, a two, a three, a four
	A mother was washing her baby one night
	The youngest of ten and a delicate mite
	The mother was poor and the baby was thin'
	Twas naught but an skeleton covered with skin
	The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack
	She was only a moment but when she turned back
	Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried"Oh, where has my baby gone?", the angels replied(Plied)
	Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole
	Oh, your baby has gone down the plug
	The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
	He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug
	Your baby is perfectly happy
	He won't need a bath anymore
	He's a-muckin' about with the angels above
	Not lost but gone before{
	Thank you, thank you
	Thank youDo you wanna do it again?}
