How she kept the baby quiet – When she stole from the compound As she slipped from the halter After chewing through the tether Where the reins were attached – How she kept the baby quiet – When she fled through the woods Where she hid in the trees After ransoming her hide At the station by the railroad – How she kept the baby quiet – When she sneaked on the train Though her feet still bled After crawling down the mountain While she finished giving birth – How she kept the baby quiet: She sang to herself Oh she sang to herself How she sang to herself She sang
