The January Man

歌詞

Oh the January man, He walks the road in woollen coat And boots of leather; The February man still shakes the snow from off his hair And blows his hands; Oh the man of March, he sees the spring And wonders what the year will bring, And hopes for better weather. Through April rain the man Goes down to watch the birds come in To share the summer; The man of May stands very still Watching the children dance away the day; In June the man inside the man Is young and wants to lend a hand, And grins at each new colour. And in July the man, In cotton shirt, he sits and thinks Of being idle; The August man in thousands takes the road To watch the sea and find the sun; September man is standing near To saddle up and leave the year, And autumn is his bridle. And the man of new October Takes the reins, and early frost Is on his shoulders; The poor November man sees fire and rain and snow and mist And a winter gale; December man looks through the snow To let eleven brothers know They're all a little older. And the January man Comes round again in woollen clothes, And boots of leather, To take another turn and walk along the icy road He knows so well; Oh the January man is here For starting each and every year Along the road forever.
