The Snow It Melts the SoonestO, the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to singAnd the corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are setting in And when a woman tells me that my face she'll soon forget Before we part, I wage a crown, she's fain to follow't yet O, the snow it melts the soonest when the wind begins to sing And the swallow skims without a thought as long as it is spring But when spring goes, and winter blows, my lass, an ye'll be fain For all your pride, to follow me, were't cross the stormy main O, the snow it melts the soonest when the wind begins to sing And the bee that flew when summer shined, in winter cannot sting I've seen a woman's anger melt betwixt the night and morn O, it's surely not a harder thing to tame a woman's scorn O, never say me farewell, dear - no farewell I'll receive For you shall set me to the stile, and kiss and take your leave But I'll wait here till the woodcock comes and the martlet takes his wing Since the snow aye melts the soonest, lass, when the winds begin to sing |
