Deep in the dark wood there lives an old man Beware of him they say He usely catches all young little girls And then he flies away So don't go in there I warn you my friends Do always beware You're never to blame I had a girl-friend, she went in the wood And never she came back Nobody saw him and nobody should Till there was me to search I found him alone He told me to go I wouldn't do that Then he went away Never since then there was somebody else Who went down in the wood Nobody dares for the dangerous man Will catch you if you should So don't go in there I warn you my friends Do always beware You're never to blame
