[00:07.04]When the robin builds in the holly tree,
[00:12.83]It's a sign of life, it's gentle victory.
[00:18.24]Well, today as I set to go,
[00:23.30]I saw a nest in a tree hollow.
[00:28.64]
[00:29.52]Oh Emily, you're a brave girl,
[00:34.51]With your husband gone to the other world.
[00:39.63]Sing a hymn while I light the fire;
[00:44.95]We'll be joined by a heavenly choir.
[00:50.21]
[00:51.05]Here's the tansy and the chamomile tea for you to drink,
[00:56.22]As the pain increases, well you only have to think
[01:01.04]About a baby. We'll save the baby.
[01:05.55]
[01:06.56]I placed a holly sprig by the doctor's door.
[01:11.92]He has done this well and many times before,
[01:17.33]He'll be careful which way he goes,
[01:22.65]But he's been kind to us farm widows.
[01:27.39]
[01:28.20]And this I heard just the other day
[01:33.53]That they came to buy, and you chose to stay.
[01:38.82]Soon a child will help you reap and sow,
[01:44.18]May he cast a long shadow.
[01:48.77]
[01:49.56]But you say the trials are coming, you have felt the gathering forces,
[01:55.11]And the galloping you hear is of one too many horses,
[02:00.20]But rest your head my darling girl, there won't be any danger,
[02:05.95]Any Christian ever loved an infant in a manger
[02:11.48]Saves the baby. They'll save the baby.
[02:17.26]
[02:43.42]Now the pastor comes, shakes the farmer's hand.
[02:49.03]Says, “The earth will bear like the Promised Land.
[02:54.34]You have heard the stories down below,
[02:59.57]But God will bless this farm hollow.”
[03:05.54]
[03:13.01]Now the farmer's wife shudders, pulls the shawl up to her shoulder.
[03:18.89]Every time she nears the hearth she feels a little colder.
[03:24.04]Where's the baby? There was a baby.
[03:30.95]
