The Snow It Melts the Soonest

歌詞

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