1
Oh, the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing,
2
And the corn it ripens fastest when the frost is settling in,
3
And when a woman tells me my face she'll soon forget,
4
Before we'll part, I'll wage a croon, she's fain to follow't yet.
5
Oh, the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing,
6
And the swallow skims without a thought as long as it is spring;
7
But when spring goes, and winter blows, my lassie you'll be fain,
8
For all your pride, to follow me across the stormy main.
9
Oh, the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing,
10
And the bee that flew when summer shone, in winter cannot sting;
11
I've seen a woman's anger melt betwixt the night and morn,
12
Oh it's surely not a harder thing to tame a woman's scorn.
13
Oh, never say me farewell here, no farewell I'll receive,
14
And you shall set me to the stile and kiss and take your leave;
15
I'll stay until the curlew calls and the martlet takes his wing,
16
Oh, the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing.
