. . . You hear them wolves a-howling
All around my poor little darling,
All around my poor little darling,
I'm afraid they'll catch my darling.

Wake up, girl, and take your warning;
The wolves is a-howling here this morning,
All around my poor little darling.
I'm afraid they'll catch my darling.

Big dog a-barking and the little dog a-howling,
Setting in the corner talking to my darling,
All around my poor little darling.
I'm afraid they'll catch my darling.
