Never play by the stairs you're bound to fall down

Never play by the hillside might slip and break your crown

Never play by the fire it's a danger to your health

Never play by the wall might fall and break yourself

Aah ah ah

Ah ahhh

Aahhhhh

Never play by the river you might tumble in and drown

Never play by the field get filthy dirty and brown

Never play by yourself it's a danger to be alone

Never stray too far away it's not safe outside of home

Aah ah ah

Ah ahhh

Ahhhhh

I didn't ask to be born

And I don't think I'll ask to die

I didn't ask for the ground beneath my feet I

Didn't ask for the sky

All that I ask my darling

All that I really ask of you

All that I ask my darling

Is that you stay here with me
