Lyrics
Oh the snow it melts the soonest
When the winds begin to sing
And the corn it ripens fastest
When the frosts are setting in
And when a young man tells me that
My face he'd soon forget
Before we part I'd bet a crown
He'd be fain to follow it yet
Oh the snow it melts the soonest
When the winds begin to sing
And the swallow skims without a thought
As long as it is spring
But when spring goes and winter blows
My lad and you'll be fain
With all your pride for to follow me
Were it 'cross the stormy main
Oh the snow it melts the soonest
When the winds begin to sing
And the bee that flew when summer shone
In winter cannot sting
I've seen a young man's anger melt
Between the night and morn
'Tis surely not a harder thing
To tame my lover's scorn
So never say me farewell here
No farewell I'll receive
You can meet me at the stile
I'll kiss and take your leave
But I'll wait here 'til the woodcock comes
And the martin takes his wing
Since the snow it melts the soonest
When the winds begin to sing
Oh the snow it melts the soonest
(Oh the snow it melts the soonest)
When the winds begin to sing
(When the winds begin to sing)
And the corn it ripens fastest
(And the corn it ripens fastest)
When the frosts are setting in
(When the frosts are setting in)
And when a young man tells me that
(And when a young man tells me that)
My face he'd soon forget
(My face he'd soon forget)
Before we part I'd bet a crown
(Before we part I'd bet a crown)
He'd be fain to follow it yet
(He'd be fain to follow it yet)
