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
