Cold, Haily, Windy Night

Lyrics

"Oh, me hat, it is frozen to me head Me feet, they are like a lump of lead Oh, me shoes, they are frozen to me feet With standing at your window" "Let me in," the soldier cried Cold, haily, windy night "Oh, let me in," the soldier cried "For I'll not go back again, no" "Me father, he watches down on the street Me mother, the chamber keys do keep Oh, the doors and the windows, they do creak I dare not let you in, oh" "Let me in," the soldier cried Cold, haily, windy night "Oh, let me in," the soldier cried "For I'll not go back again, no" Oh, and she's rose up and she's let him in She's kissed her true love cheek and chin And she's drawn him between her sheets again And she opened and she let him in, oh Then she has blessed the rainy night Cold, haily, windy night Oh, then she has blessed the rainy night That she opened and she let him in, oh "Soldier, soldier, stay with me Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?" "Oh no, no, no, it never can be So fare bid thee well forever" Then she has wept for the rainy night Cold, haily, windy night Oh, then she has wept for the rainy night That she opened and she let him in, oh Oh, and he's jumped up all out of the bed He's put his hat all on his head But she had lost her maidenhead Her mother, she heard the din, oh Then she has cursed the rainy night Cold, haily, windy night Oh, then she has cursed the rainy night That she opened and she let him in, oh And then she has cursed the rainy night Cold, haily, windy night Oh, then she has cursed the rainy night That she opened and she let him in, oh
