Oh me hat it is frozen to me head |
|
Me feet they are like a lump of lead |
|
Oh me shoes they are frozen to me feet |
|
With standing at your window |
|
Let me in, the soldier cried |
|
Cold haily windy night |
|
Oh let me in, the soldier cried |
|
For I'll not go back again, no |
|
Me father he watches down on the street |
|
Me mother the chamber keys do keep |
|
Oh, the doors and the windows they do creak |
|
I dare not let you in O |
|
Let me in, the soldier cried |
|
Cold haily windy night |
|
Oh let me in, the soldier cried |
|
For I'll not go back again, no |
|
Oh and she's rose up and she's let him in |
|
She's kissed her true love cheek and chin |
|
And she's drawn him between her sheets again |
|
And she opened and she let him in O |
|
Then she has blessed the rainy night |
|
Cold haily windy night |
|
Oh then she has blessed the rainy night |
|
That she opened and she let him in O |
|
Soldier, soldier stay with me |
|
Soldier, soldier won't you marry me |
|
Oh no, no, no, it never can be |
|
So fare bid thee well forever |
|
Then she has wept for the rainy night |
|
Cold haily windy night |
|
Then she has wept for the rainy night |
|
That she opened and she let him in O |
|
Oh and he's jumped up all out of the bed |
|
He's put his hat all on his head |
|
But she had lost her maidenhead |
|
Her mother she heard the din O |
|
Then she has cursed the rainy night |
|
Cold haily windy night |
|
O then she has cursed the rainy night |
|
That she opened and she let him in O |
