[00:13.64]In the spring of 1856with the snow still on the ground
[00:21.56]Two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town
[00:29.89]The father went out hunting the boys had stayed behind
[00:37.82]While mother tended to her chores they wandered from her side
[00:55.58]The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead
[01:03.21]By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread
[01:11.32]Two-hundred men had gathered there to comb the mountain side
[01:19.11]The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light
[01:27.43]Oh,mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries
[01:34.06]The day is almost over,soon it will be night
[01:41.90]We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore
[01:49.86]We promise not to stray again from our cabin door
[02:07.88]Now Jacob Diverd woke one night from a strange and erie dream
[02:15.80]He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream
[02:23.72]He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log
[02:31.57]For two more nights the dream returned this vision sent from God
[02:40.01]Oh,mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries
[02:46.82]The day is almost over,soon it will be night
[02:54.62]We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore
[03:02.25]We promise not to stray again from our cabin door
[03:33.31]A thousand men had searched in vain the west side of pop's creek
[03:40.97]But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east
[03:49.14]With a guide to take him there,Jacob came upon the scene
[03:57.13]And found the boys cold and still beneath the old birch tree
[04:03.01]Oh,mommy and daddy,look past the tears you cry
[04:12.00]We're both up in Heaven now,God is by our side
[04:20.31]As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord
[04:28.33]Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door
[04:36.21]Oh,mommy and daddy,look past the tears you cry
[04:43.06]We're both up in Heaven now,God is by our side
[04:50.97]And as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord
[04:59.30]Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door
