Deep in the woods, far, far away
Live five wives who sleep all day
Five lumberjack husbands who loves chopping trees
All the while they are sleeping, five sweet ladies
Over the hill, beyond the stream
There you will find five ladies dancing
Playing with children, sheering the sheep
Laughing so loud you can hear them next week
Over the mountain and beyond the sun
Five lovely cottages built into one
Four hundred children, six hundred sheep
Ten lovely parents sing them to sleep
La, la, la
La, la, la
