How can you set at the table carving?

VoiceCollected and transcribed by Mary Celestia Parler Sung by Mrs. Pearl Brewer Pocahontas, Arkansas August 28, 1958 Reel 297, Item 6 The Lost Babe How can you set at the table carving? My babes out in the wilderness starving. Poor little lost, Poor lost baby, Poor little lost. Don't you hear the rain a-falling? My babes out in the wilderness squalling. Poor little lost, Poor lost baby, Poor little lost. Don't you hear those wolves a-howling? My babes out in the wilderness prowling. Poor little lost, Poor lost baby, Poor little lost. Don't you hear the horn a-blowing? My babes found and I'm a-going. Poor little lost, Poor lost baby, Poor little lost.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
