The Snow It Melts the Soonest

Media:snow.mp3 by Jude and Daisy

The snows they melt the soonest
When the winds begins to sing
And the corn it ripend fastest
When the frosts are settling in
And when a woman tells me
That my face she'll soon forget
Before we part I'll wage a crown
She's fain to follow yet

The snows they melt the soonest
When the winds begin to sing
And the swallow flies without a thought
As long as it is spring
But when spring goes and winter blows
My love then you'll be fain
For all your pride to follow me
Across the raging main

The snows they melt the soonest
When the winds begin to sing
And the bee that flew when summer shone
In winter cannot sting
And I've seen a woman's anger melt
Between the night and morn
So it's surely not a harder thing
To melt a woman's scorn

So don't you bid me farewell here
No farewell I'll receive
For you will lie with me, my lass
Then kiss and take your leave
And I'll wait here till the moorcrock calls
And the martin takes the wing
For the snow they melt the soonest
When the winds begin to sing
