the man in the wood

deep in the dark wood there lives an old man

beware of him

they say

he usely catches all young little girls

and then he flies away

so don't go in there

i warn you my friends

do always beware

you're never to blame

i had a girl-friend

she went in the wood

and never she came back

nobody saw him and nobody should

till there was me to search

i found him alone

he told me to go

i wouldn't do that

then he went away

never since then there was somebody else

who went down in the wood

nobody dares for the dangerous man

will catch you if you should

so don't go in there

i warn you my friends

do always beware

you're never to blame
