Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude
Thy tooth is not so keen
Because thou art not seen
Although thy breath be rude
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly
Then heigh-ho the holly, this life is most jolly
Blow,blow, thou winter wind
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky
Thou does not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot
Though thou the waters warp
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember'd not
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly
Then heigh-ho the holly, ho-o-o-o holly, y-y-y-y jolly
Blow, blow, thou winter wind
