how she kept the baby quiet --
when she stole from the compound
as she slipped from the halter
after chewing through the tether
where the reins were attached --
how she kept the baby quiet --
when she fled through the woods
where she hid in the trees
after ransoming her hide
at the station by the railroad --
how she kept the baby quiet --
when she sneaked on the train
after crawling down the mountain
though her feet still bled
while she finished giving birth --
how she kept the baby quiet:
oh she sang to herself
yes she sang to herself
she sang to herself
she sang
