[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]
