I Wish My Baby Was Born

Esta es una canción folclórica de las Rocky Mountains estadounidenses que conocimos en la interpretación de Tim Eriksen, Riley Baugus & Tim O.

Es una triste nana en la que una madre se lamenta por la muerte de su bebé.
En el coro la interpretamos a una voz y con acompañamiento de guitarra.



Y aquí esta la letra de la canción:

I wish, I wish my baby was born
And sitting on its papa's knee
And me, poor girl
And me, poor girl, were dead and gone
And the green grass growing o'er my feet
I ain't ahead, nor never will be
Till the sweet apple grows
On a sour apple tree
But still I hope, But still I hope the time will come
When you and I shall be as one
I wish, I wish my love had died
And sent his soul to wander free
Then we might meet where ravens fly
Let our poor bodies rest in peace
The owl, the owl
Is a lonely bird
It chills my heart
With dread and terror
That someone's blood
There on his wing
That someone's blood
There on his feathers.
