Among the Oak and Ash - Come all you tenderhearted

Come ^Fall you ^Bbtender^Fhearted Your at^Ctention I will ^Fcall I'll tell you ^Bbhow it ^Fstarted Please ^Clisten one and ^Fall

Last Wednesday ^Bbnight, there ^Fwas a light Seen ^Cshining on a ^Fhill A mother ^Bbran with ^Fall her might While ^Ceverything was ^Fstill

She went in^Bbto a ^Fneighbour's house Some ^Chundred yards a^Fway She sat down, ^Bbtalked with ^Fthem awhile But she ^Cdid not mean to ^Fstay

"Don't stay too ^Bblong, dear ^Fmother, there For ^Cwe'll be lonesome ^Fhere" "I'll get some ^Bblini^Fment", she said "Then ^CI'll return a^Fgain"

But when she ^Bbstarted ^Fhome again Her ^Chouse was in a ^Fflame She cried, "Oh ^Bblord, my ^Fbabies they're gone And ^CI'm the one to ^Fblame"

She bursted ^Bball a^Fsunder then And the ^Cflames rolled over^Fhead Their little ^Bbbones lay ^Fon the ground And ^Cthey lay face to ^Fface Each other ^Bbdid en^Ftwine Each ^Cother did em^Fbrace
