Grandmas song

I have a tape recording of me singing a song Grandma taught me.  She would sing the song to me, I would sing the song to her and we would sing it together.  So after Jake was born, one night I was trying to calm him down and was singing songs to him.  I thought to myself "I need to sing him Babes In The Woods".  So I looked up the lyrics because I could only remember a few lines. Once I found them I started questioning Grandmas intentions when she taught me this song.  Was she trying to give me nightmares? Trying to corrupt me?  Here are the lyrics and I'll let you decide.

Oh, don't you remember, a long time ago,
Those two little babies, their names I don't know
They were stolen away one bright, summers day
And left in a wood, so I've heard some folks say

Now the day being gone and the night coming on
Those two little babies sat under a stone
They sobbed and they sighed, they sat there and cried
Those two little babies they laid down and died

Now the robins so red, how swiftly they sped
They put out their wide wings and over them spread
And all the day long on the branches they throng
They sweetly did whistle and this was their song

Pretty babes in the wood
Pretty babes in the wood
Oh, don't you remember
those babes in the wood
