[_] farm did waste away
I saw her sunken eyes
My babes on straw in sickness lay
I heard their wailing cries
Oh papa come and wake her up
The people say she’s dead
Just make her speak and smile once more
And we will never cry for bread
Never cry for bread
I saw her sunken eyes
My babes on straw in sickness lay
I heard their wailing cries
Oh papa come and wake her up
The people say she’s dead
Just make her speak and smile once more
And we will never cry for bread
Never cry for bread
