Three Little Babes- As sung by Uncle Pat Frye of East Bend, Yadkin County, North Carolina. Recorded August 26, 1945
Come here, come here, my three little babes
Come here, come here, to me
Come here, come here, my three little babes
And eat and drink of mine
How can we come ____________
How can we come to thee
When yonder stands our Savior dear
To call us all away
Wake up, wake up, says the oldest one
It's getting almost day.
How can we stay in this dark world
When there's a brighter one for me.
