[00:00:05] May I sleep in your barn tonight mister

[00:00:11] It is cold lying out on the ground

[00:00:17] And the cold north wind is whistling and I have no place to lie down

[00:00:28] Now I have no tobacco nor matches and I'm sure

[00:00:35] I can cause you no harm

[00:00:39] I will tell you my story kind mister for it runs through

[00:00:46] My heart like a storm

[00:00:51] It was three years ago just last summer I shall never forget that sad day

[00:01:02] When a stranger came out from the city and said that he wanted to stay

[00:01:13] Now the stranger was fair tall and handsome and

[00:01:19] He looked like a man who had wealth

[00:01:25] And he wanted to stay in the country said

[00:01:30] He wanted to stop for his health

[00:01:36] One night as I came from my workshop I was whistling and singing with joy

[00:01:47] I expected a kind hearty welcome from

[00:01:53] My sweet loving wife and my boy

[00:01:59] But what did I find but a letter it was placed in

[00:02:06] My room on the stand

[00:02:10] And the moment my eyes fell upon it I picked it right up

[00:02:19] In my hand

[00:02:22] Now this note said my wife and the stranger had left

[00:02:29] And had taken my son

[00:02:33] Oh I wonder if god up in heaven only knows what this stranger has done

[00:02:45] May I sleep in your barn tonight mister

[00:02:50] It is cold lying out on the ground

[00:02:56] And the cold north wind is a whistling and I have

[00:03:03] No place to lie down
